Pain pump and stuff

Well the pain pump is doing it's job and working well. He started out with a continuous dose of .8mg and a bolus of .6mg. That worked for awhile but he was still taking some pills and needed the fentora once in awhile. So our pain managment doctor increase his dose so now he is much more comfortable. He doesn't need to his the bolus button hardley at all. He doesn't seem to need any pills. He just takes Valuim when he gets anxious and needs to calm down a little. It's usually at night before bed. Sunday turned out not to be a good day. He woke up feeling ok, but decided to stay in bed and watch tv. Later that evening he started to throw up and seem to be runnin a fever. I didn't actually take his temp. just the old mom way of feeling his forehead. He had also thrown up on Saturday night too. The last good meal he has had was on Saturday for lunch he had spagehetti and chicken. He really has only eaten his pretzels and pepsi that he seems to be so addicted too. This morning he seems kinda out of sorts but is up and went to sit in the kitchen to play soduko in his book. He likes it cause it keeps his mind thinking. I made him scrambled eggs and he ate and kept them down. So over all he is doing better then yesterday but I really need to keep an eye on him. Hopefully he will pull out of this funk and enjoy this company that we are having over the next several weekends. I'm leaving work, this week is going to be my last week. Of course I didn't go in today cause I felt i needed to be home with him. This job has been good for me, but it was only temporary and part-time. Thank you Alicia, for this opportunitity. He is just becoming too much for Sam to handle in the afternoon, and she shouldn't have to. She is only 15 and Kyle isn't good with that stuff, he is good with helping him out of his chair and using his muscle. So it's best for all of us, that i'm home for awhile. So we will see what the rest of the week brings. I'll keep you all posted. Thank you so much for all your prayers and thoughts.
