Spent the entire weekend at the hospital with my dad... He is in terrible pain....and so far they have not been able to give him enough Morphine to make him comfortable. He is supposed to have more MRI's done so they can target the cancer and know where to use radiation in order to help with the pain but so far he is not able to do the tests. He is hurting too bad...I have been a nurse for almost 20 years and I have never seen anyone take this much Morphine without it knocking them on their ass. Not my dad, nope he is a hard head, he has had enough drugs to drop a buffalo in it's tracks, and he is still awake talking...making sense most of the time. but still hurting. As a nurse I have a very hard time with the fact that my dad is having to suffer and I can't do anything to fix it. Gotta say it really humbles you and shows you that as much as we like to think we are in charge...it isn't true. There is definitely a power much higher than us who has a plan for us. We may not understand it but the plan is there. I myself am still hoping that with God's help my dad will pull through all this....So please everyone continue praying and keep positive thoughts for him and for me as I help my family through this terrible time. I do appreciate all the love and support and prayers received so far. It is nice at the end of the day to look at this site and see how many of my friends are wanting to do things for me, friends who are praying for my dad and my family and friends who just take the time to check on me and make me laugh after a tough day. Am off to say more prayers that my dad's pain be removed and that God's will be done and for the strength to get through all that is to come. Take care all and have a great week..... Love to you all
