Sept 27
Saturday the hospice nurse made 3 visits to raise morphine. 2 raises I mentioned in the previous post and we had to have her come again before bed and raised it to 4.0 mg. Sunday we raised it to 4.5 mg and today we raised it to 5.0 mg. Obviously he still has alot of pain, not real sure if the pain is getting worse or staying the same but he’s building tolerance to the morphine. He actually had a good spurt yesterday and got up, went out and fed the fish and was talking with a few smiles. He was up most of the night rambling on about who knows what. He has been up quite a bit today and still talking and alert. His blood pressure today was good, pulse a little better than yesterday but still high, and his oxygen level is way low at 70%. We went today and looked at another funeral home which we decided to go with, Montlawn in Raleigh. He continues to fight as always and I have told him he doesn’t have to fight on my behalf. Just in case he is holding out for his daddy that always has told him to be tougher than boiled dog turds. Little bodies can only handle so much and I don’t want him to hold on because of me if he’s ready. We can’t be selfish. That is really all the news as of now.

Aaron and Karrie, We love you both and we are continually covering you all with prayer. Conner is dear to our hearts. We love Big sister too!:) If there is anything we can do, we would be there in a flash! We have learned that prayer is not the least we can do, but the Most we can do. Pray we will, and continue to do so! Glad he has been able to be up and around some.
Love, Prayers, and lots of Hugs!!
