  • Wednesday Evie Update

    Good morning, friends!  This is Amy giving an update.  I'm sure you've noticed there has not been an entry since last Wednesday.  I was beginning to get worried with no update here and no answers to e-mails.  So I contacted Ev's mom.

    Mrs. Jan let me know that Evie has had a difficult week (as you can always tell when she doesn't write).  She wouldn't let Dr. Huff tell her the CT results the day she got her transfusion last week - just didn't want to know.  She has been in tremendous pain this week.  She changed providers of her pain patch from Wal-Mart (larger patches) to King Soopers (smaller patches).  We found out they are not identical in the way they distribute the medication and the King Soopers generic brand doesn't touch her pain.  So, she made a trip to the hospital Monday for blood tests for hemoglobin and INR, and a new prescription for the Wal-Mart pain patches which she put on Monday afternoon.  She worked yesterday, but had a very difficult time. She got so behind on pain management that they're unsure what it will take to get her back on track.  Dr. Huff talked about a pain management consultation, but he is gone this week on his honeymoon.

    She is still in searing pain this morning.  The nurses are trying to arrange a pain management doctor to come to her house today.  If they can't work that out, a friend is going to take Evie to the cancer center to see Dr. Young (Dr. Huff's partner) in Dr. Huff's absence this week.

    Specific prayers this morning are for pain control.  Please be much in prayer for Evie's pain to become manageable immediately.  Pray they can get a doctor to come out to her instead of her having to endure further pain trying to get to the doctor.  When I find out more, I will let you all know.
