Hello everyone, Mizuho is at Emory Hospital today (room G732). We went for a radiation treatment yesterday, and asked about getting better pain meds and something for her bloating. We have a super radiation oncologist and primary oncologist...they checked her in, did a MRI of the spine (thorasic and lumbar MRI) and gave her 6mg of morphene every few hours. Now she has a little hand pump (a "PCA" in the lingo...) with a clicker so she can self medicate the morphene (2mg every 12 minutes). You will definitely want a PCA..if you ever are asked...
They're doing a CT scan today, and we'll find out when she can leave in a day or so..they're going to get her pain under control and check out her spine. She's doing better on morphene and we'll see how she feels in a few days.. Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers...it's very much appreciated.
Jim

I'm coming. I'm coming with a goody bag. Not as good as morphine, but . . .

Jim, morphine is the way to go with the amount of pain that Mizuho is experiencing. I remember the pump all too well after my surgery. Keeping our fingers crossed for the tests. We are praying for Mizuho....
