"My pain is a level one"

Mom called me this morning and said that her pain is at a level one! For those of you that do not know, in the medical field we always ask our patients what their pain rating is, ten being the worst pain they have ever experienced. Mom was thrilled with how she feels today. She woke up this morning and has not felt this well since April. Thank you, thank you for your prayers. Please continue to pray that she will continue to feel well and improve. We really appreciate your support.

More Pain

Mom went to her pain physician today for treatment. Recently, the doctor has started her on shots of low-dose steroids into her neck to try and help the inflammation of the nerves and muscles. It usually helps with her pain, but the procedure is painful, as you can imagine of having needles injected into her neck. This time, however, she was given versed, which is used for conscious sedation. it helps during the procedure, but mom was in severe pain from the procedure and extremely nauseous when she got home.

Please pray for her pain and that there would be complete healing in her body. I think that mom is hitting the point of when the doctors consider her pain to be chronic, which is when pain becomes harder to treat. Please pray that her body would be completely restored and that she would be pain-free. She never complains about how much she suffers and continues to bless others throughout this situation. Thank you so much for your prayers and support.
