Ouch! It Hurts!

Friday Andrew had wound vacs changed. He got to have a shower. Then Ariel, Alex and Aaron hung out with Andrew. They watched a movie. It was a hard day for Andrew with lots of pain. His nurse, Nancy, realized that he needed better pain management. He really hasn't used anything but a little tylenol. She talked to the doc and came up with a better plan. Andrew will have to verbalize what type of pain he is having so that we can respond appropriatelty. I think that he has been flying solo in the pain department. I feel bad that we haven't understood his needs better! Now we have a better choice of drugs to help him. Ariel stayed over night with him.
