Joy's extreme pain continues despite the self administered morphine IV doses. Last evenings lab results gave indications that she may have suffered a heart attack so the staff was out in full force testing and monitoring her until daybreak but it appears now after further tests and review that did not happen but, they continue to monitor her.
Nausea has minimized but duh, she hasn't had any food for 2 1/2 days. They ran saline through the feeding tube today with plans to introduce nourishment tonight. They will run that for 24 hours in the hospital and should be reduced to 10-14 hours at home.
Pain management is the issue of the moment. Nothing seems to go normal for her.
