Another big day........ Dee is going back into surgery today so that the Nuerosurgeons can figure out what the problem is with the Omaya Resevoir to place the Chemo into her head. The procedure is called a "Revision". We never look forward to another procedure but, it has to be done and she'll finally get some much needed rest.
Dee has been doing extremely well in spite of the fact that the past two nights have been virtually sleepless. The night nurses have given her an anti-anxiety medication that has had the reverse effect. This causes her to become very, very anxious ~ cruising around the hallways at all hours of the night to relieve the tension and experiencing phantom pain. It is beyond frustrating that they do not listen to the family members that have spent the most over-night time with her and know how she will react, especially when it is an "as needed" medication, and she didn't need it. They are most likely trying to make her comfortable in evey way possible so it's difficult to be upset for that reason. Sorry not trying to be negative, just needed to vent that litlle frustration.. She is doing better than we are today with no sleep. Guess it's the daytime naps that help her through. Maybe they can re-route the anti-anxiety medication to us : )
In any event, we will post an update after the surgery and let you all know how she's doing. It may be difficult this week to keep up the Blog as frequently with all of the Holiday activity, but we will make every effort to keep you in the know.
We ask you to double the prayers up today, with the surgery pending. Much love to you all and God Bless!

ReplyDeleteIt is okay to vent a little. Helps to ease the frustration. If you did not vent you would not be able to get through everything that is going on. Hang in there. Definitely will double up on the prayers tonight for Auntie Dee. Love Barbie
