Thanks, everyone, for all your responses regarding my questions concerning Dilaudid. I had no idea it was such a big, bad drug. That being said, it has really helped with her pain control....even though it never took it completely away.
We are now down to 3 mls every 5-6 hours. For a couple of days we were only taking 2 mls every 5 hours, but she now wants 3 mls instead. Other nerves are starting to wake up in her face, and she's experiencing different types of pains in different places. Ugh. But it's just a matter of time. Even her neck and upper chest are bruised. But a lot of the swelling on her face has gone down, although anyone seeing her for the first time would definately notice the swelling and bruising. But I remember what she looked like a week ago! *smile*
Thanks for all your help. I appreciate it!
God bless,
Sandy
