Scott's pain is better controlled today. He was switched back to the oral pain meds and we hope those will work better for him. According to Janiece, the IV pain meds were making Scott "very loopy" last night, and the nurse was concerned. They were also making him nauseated, so with those two factors in place, the decision was made to switch back to the orals.
With that switch, Scott needs to eat some solid foods with his pills, or chances are he will still be nauseated! Janiece
Scott's swelling is improving. His hands were so swollen that he could hardly hold anything in them. Today he is able to move and use his hands!
His WBC count was 12.0 today! It is going down! Again, normal is below 10.0 This is great news.
His Sodium is still a little low at 126 (normal is 135-145). They will recheck it again later today.
Scott is more awake today and using his cell phone, just like old times. This morning Janiece ran to the trailer to get a few things and in the meantime, Scott called his sister Melissa (the nice one :) and wanted to chat. When he is awake he really wants someone in the room with him.
