I called in and spoke to Mom's nurse today. She said that she's using the morphine a bit less over the last couple of days, so it seems that the pain has subsided somewhat. (She's still using morphine, so whatever pain she has must be stronger than your run of the mill headache.)
I also called into Dr. Razia's office, and left a message hoping to find out more about why there's an increase in pain in the last couple of weeks. I posed a couple of ideas to the nurse, and she said that it would be inappropriate for her to speculate about it and that I should try to connect with the doctor.
The nurse didn't indicate that there were any plans to discharge Mom, so It's likely she'll be there until her status improves. Razia should be back to the office by Friday, and may check in with Mom over the weekend.
Gail, Nate and I plan to head to the valley this weekend. I'm not sure if we're heading out Thursday evening, or Friday, but we'll likely be there by Friday evening, and plan to head back to Detroit on Monday. I'll bring my laptop with me, and should be able to post updates while we're there.
