UGH!

So because we increased Josh's pain meds he's been fighting constipation which is to be expected. We though we had it under control and then last night he started having sever abdominal pain. The feeling of needing to have a BM. His pain couldn't be controled and the stool softeners and laxative were no longer working. SO. I called the boys in blue about 12:00 last night and they went ahead and brought him to the hospital. We have now been here for about 7hrs. Blood work check, CT check, X-ray check, UA check. Kidney stone! Ouch. Been there done that. Josh remembers hearing this from his oncologist, but the CT showed that the tumor is in the bone of his pelvis which we new that but now it is showing there are fractures in the bones of the pelvis and lower spine. That is all the info we have at this time. Josh is going to be admitted for pain control and when that happens we will learn more about what is going to happen. So please continue to pray for Josh. That he will be pain free and able to sleep. Pray that the fractures that showed up on the CT was a mistake and they are not there, and that the stone will be able to pass easily. We don't have results back yet from the x-ray so pray that is doesn't show an obstruction of the colon/intestines. Just pray for ultimate healing! We've had ENOUGH of this and are ready to be "normal"(whatever that is ) :) Also keep the doctors in your prayers also, that they will have wisdom and be able to diagnose this situation
