Eddie and Martha Marie Smith

Things were starting to look up after the physical therapy session today.  Around 4:00p.m. Martha Marie started to experience her set back.

She was given her pain medicine at 4:00 p.m.  She had slept an extra long nap which made her 2 hours late on her pain medicine.  When she woke up, her head was killing her.  It took a while for the medicine to set in.  It finally set in and then she was given a new medicine by IV.  As soon as the medicine was injected by syringe her arm started to burn and the burn did not go away for a while.

It wasn’t too long after she was given the new medicine she started saying crazy things like:

• Asking her sister if she wore her swim suit today
• Asking the nurse if she wear her own hat that is nowhere around
• Telling me that she liked my sweatshirt when I was wearing a t-shirt
• Telling us that she was talking to someone that wasn’t there

The doctor immediately stopped all of her narcotics since that seemed to be the problem.  She is still saying some things, but is more coherent now.

This really concerned us today and we are unable to talk with a doctor until tomorrow morning.  Please pray for wisdom for us, the nurses, and the doctor and physical therapist tomorrow morning.
