Last night was the roughest we've had since Mitt had internal bleeding. He was still in pain after taking 2 Norco and 2 Morphine.
I wanted to call hospice but he did not want me to, so I didn't. Hospice told me to allow him to be in charge of his care as long as he's able.
It started early, all he wanted was a little bit of potato for dinner he ate very little and almost immediately threw it up. He had pain in his stomach and he was exhausted. Usually a coffee break will relieve some pressure and pain but it didn't help much.
Around midnight he was violently vomiting. When he finally fell asleep he thrashed around in the bed. He was in such pain and I couldn't help him and I laid there beside him, held his arm and cried. Sometime in the middle of the night he said "Mitt, I'll always be thinking of you". I told him I would always be thinking of him too. (for those of you who don't know, we call each other Mitt.)
Mike needs your prayers more than ever. Please pray specifically for no pain and suffering.
Mitt and I would like to thank Tessa, Lacey, Brendan and our neighbor, Jim for moving the furniture and the elliptical to accommodate the hospital bed. Your time and muscle is greatly appreciated.
We have not yet contacted hospice for the bed. Mitt will decide when he's ready for it.
He is doing much better now and it's time for me to make his soup. Thank you Pam for the Gerson soup recipe we eat it everyday. Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers. Love to you all.
I am so sorry to hear this. It truly breaks my heart. I pray for strength and comfort during this time.
