Update on pain

     Colleen went for her MRI's of the hips this morning at 6 am. She waited over 2 hours for her tests and then the nurses had trouble accessing her port. She was not pleased and was frustrated because  they had to try to access it three times without numbing cream. She was upset to say the least. We are glad the mri's are done. We should get the results in the next few days. They will be able to let us know if she needs surgery based on the mri results. 
     Her pain must be improving because she wanted to go out for lunch and was much more social today. The spark is returning to her eye. She is still having pain but it seems to be improving. She is going to try to go to church this evening but seems really tired from all the drugs she is on. We are trying to focus and take things one day at a time. When we are first told about these complications, it feels  like someone pulls the rug out from under you. It takes a few days to wrap your head around the news. We seem to be adjusting and are trying to take life one day at a time. Colleen's make a wish trip is scheduled for May 23rd thru the 28th and we are looking forward to the trip. Hopefully her pain will be controlled and she will be feeling better. Thank you for praying for her. Her headache is gone and the pain is improving a bit.
