Gary has continued to have severe pain and nausea today. After a restless night, I called the doctor to see what we should do. The nurse said she would give the message and get back with me. Shortly after lunch, she called to say the doctor on call wanted me to bring Gary into the emergency room so they can make sure there is nothing more going on. We spent over three hours there as they administered a higher dose of morphine, called Fentanyl. It was fast acting and took the worse of the pain away, but only stays in the system for an hour, so they administered it 3 times. Gary is home, but still not pain free. Hopefully, this stint in the emergency room will help take the edge off of the pain and he will be able to rest tonight. He does not want to be admitted in the hospital, so will try to manage the pain as much as he can. We appreciate your prayers so much!
It breaks our heart to hear that Pastor Gary has been in so much pain these past days and weeks. Sis. Jeannie, we are praying for you as we send this message. It is never easy to watch a love one suffer so much pain. May the Lord bring grace to you and your family. Have a blessed Christmas. We love you.
