Allan had a good weekend but has been having more and more pain in his abdomen. Last night at 330am he woke me up and he was in excrutiating pain. The pain seems to get worse and worse. He asked for two of his hydrocodones and after about 30-45 minutes after taking the meds he finally was able to go back to sleep but had a rough night being in pain even though asleep. Allan went in for his labs and bone enhancer this morning. We were so sleep deprived and concerned about his pain that we forgot to ask what his counts were today. Dr. Dalal is not sure what is causing the pain...it could be that the cancer in his lymph node in his abdomen has grown. We wont' know for sure for two weeks as he gets his ct scan next Tuesday and then the following Tues we will find out. Thankfully, Lord willing, ALL the kids will be here for that visit. Allan slept all afternoon and we woke him up just before 6pm. He took two of his hydros at dinner time and will continue to take them. He can take up to 6 in 24 hours. If that does not do the trick then Dr. Dalal will set him up on round the clock meds, much stronger meds to help knock out this pain he is experiencing. He was able to get off for Labor Day Weekend when the kids will all be here, praise the Lord!!! We are all so looking forward to camping together! It has been since the early 90s since we have been camping as a family!!
Have a wonderful day!
