Good News!!!

It was a rough few days. I just barely got home from visiting AmberLee and she is doing 100 percent better. 
It turns out yes she was having a reaction to the shot she was getting but it was much more severe than normal. It finally got to the point that she was given the push button pain reliever with the same pain medication she had been getting as I explained in the last post. One thing she started to notice when she pushed the button she would get a burning sensation throughout her whole body and especially through her veins immediately after. She was unable to link the two together when she was just getting it normally. When she told them this they immediately changed her pain reliever to straight morphine and she has been getting better and better by the hour. She went from glossy looking and barely coherent to when I got there tonight she was standing up, the pain in her feet is gone, and picking up Brennan when he ran into the room. She was her old self again. You can imagine the relief I felt seeing her like this. It makes the last few days seem like a bad dream and nothing more.
She still has a really bad sore throat. They have even told her not to eat and even to not swallow at all. They have a suction hose in her room to solve that problem.
Wow what a stressful and scary week. Thank you all for your prayers. Everything is uphill from here and we are praying for no more future complications! We know it’s going to turn out for the best!
Boy, you know I’m now kinda glad I still had your old website in my newsreader. I figured no news was good news, until dad told me you were religiously updating your site.
There was news and some of it was scary, but fortunately I had the luck of know how the book (or at least this chapter) ended…And thankfully it was a good ending…whew!
Anyway, we’re both glad to hear AmberLee is doing much better with the new medication.
haha - I just looked to the side bar and wondered, “Since when did Adam get into hockey, and why did he post links to the NHL on AmberLee’s blog?” duh…
That is fantastic news! How common is this kind of reaction to pain medication?
I was glad to hear that it was the pain medication and not any rejection of the marrow that you were having trouble with. Adam and your mom have kept us updated. Uncle Rick and I are planing to see you on Friday the 4th.. Today!! I know you probably get a little bored during the day. Do you have enough books,Puzzles, drawing paper etc? I’ll see you soon..
All my Love Aunt Joanie
Hey you two!
Sounds like you’ve had a pretty rough week. I’m sorry to hear that. I’m glad things are turing around and I hope they continue to. I’ll try calling this weekend to check in on you both. If you need anything here in Tremonton, please call!
Much love,
Bishop Mickelson
Hey Adam, We missed you two at the monthly get together at grandma’s. We got an update from your mom and had fun with brennan. He, Zack, and Kyler are a hoot together.
Glad to hear things are up-hill from here.
Love you two
