Another bad day. An attack starting at 5am. They had tried the Zofran pill again and the Fentanyl Lollipop, but it didn't help. Dad asked for the two shots, but they were in his chart, so the nurses had to call the doctor and then the pharmacy to get it. Finally he was given the first round of Zofran and Dilaudid shots which took away the nausea. He called Mom at 7.30am while she was on her way to work and asked her to come into the hospital instead. At 8am Dad received another Dilaudid which took away the rest of the pain.
And then another one at 11am before he was to go down for the CT Enterography that didn't happen the day before.
At 11.45 the pain was at a 8 on a 1 to 10 point scale.
At noon the pain was at a 9.
12.10 they gave him the shots in the arm of Zofran and 2 units of Dilaudid.
That took away the pain and they sent him down for the CT.
This day the doctors had him on a liquids only diet: water, coffee, soup broth.
