Pain Management


Mom is tough. She was raised on a farm in Iowa and is the oldest of 6 kids. This picture is one of my favorites. Aunt Mary must be about 2 or 3 which means Mom is 13 or 14 in this photo. I really like the candle!


The amount of pain Mom is feeling is continuing to escalate and specific pains are appearing in new places including some near her ribs. Mom is also experiencing increased weakness and difficulty in getting around. Deb, Dad, and Mom spent some time on the phone with the oncologist today and they are changing her medications to help alleviate the overall pain and keep Mom more comfortable. Deb has also engineered more cushioning and additional heating pads for comfort.

  1. I love this picture! Does anyone else think Aunt Jeanette resembles Stasha in this photo. Also Aunt Mary's hair makes me think of my little Meredith! What a great photo. Keep it up Amy.
