Headaches...

The intensity of the headaches increased dramatically on Tuesday which caused major intestinal problems as we couldn't get out in front of the pain.. and Lindsey couldn't keep the pain meds down. Wednesday morning was another bout of serious pain again... same routine with the challenge of keeping the meds down.

After consulting with the Doc, we switched from IB Profen back to the Hydrocodone on Tuesday, and then double the dose on Wednesday - 1000mg every 4 hours. Steroids and anti-nausea were added on Thursday and by Friday afternoon it appears that Lindsey has adjusted to the meds and the headaches and nausea are under control. Steroids were added to reduce the swelling which should help relieve some of the headache pain. While she slept most of this week, Friday evening she felt like getting out and asked to spend the evening/night at my sister's house.

In Lindsey's words.... "this is bad... it's growing... and dang-it."
