Update

Yesterday was rough. It is so hard watching somebody you love struggle with pain. Helpless because I couldn't provide relief, I sat with my mom and waited for the Pain Team to work some magic. By the time I left her pain intensity was waning and she was exhausted. 

This morning I'm heading back to the hospital. It has been decided that she will stay in-patient until her pain is manageable. I am grateful that she won't be forced to move when she is already in agony. Once her pain wanes she will transfer to a rehab facility for a few days.
