Tough Day

Even tho it was a beautiful day outside today, this is a day that we are glad it is over. Cindy had a bad night last night in the ICU. It was very busy and noisy in the unit and she did not get much sleep. After I left her last night she decided to sit in a chair which gave her nausea and she vomitted. She slept a lot of the morning and at 2pm they moved her out of ICU to a regular hospital room. At 4pm she vomitted again and I think she got the worst head pain that she has ever had. To put it in her words - her head was exploding. They ended up bringing her for more x-rays and scans. She is having some problems w/ her bowels and feel she has air in her colon. They are hoping to get her to have a bowel movement tonight. Tomorrow morning she is having x-rays done again. As far as the head - everything came back looking fine to Dr Heffez. They gave her some pretty good pain medication that knocked her out. So maybe we won't know what caused her head to explode. Maybe it was the brain telling her that it doesn't like the second addition. I don't think our bodies were made to put things in them. We are just praying that explosion never comes back again. I don't think I will forget St Patty's Day 2009.

Kyle & Cindy,
Sorry to hear about your bad day. Hopefully that is over and only better days are to come. Praying that they can get your pain under control and also your nausea/vomiting/stomach ache under control. Praying for relief in every way. Also praying for you Kyle as you sit by her side. It must be hard to watch your wife in so much pain. Praying for both of you!
God Bless~

Kyle,

I can't imagine the fear and anxiety that may overwhelm you. You have been an amazing husband, best friend and rock for Cindy. Just make sure you take of yourself too. Cindy, praying extra hard for you today! Praying that God gives the doctors the wisdom to find what is causing the exploding pain in your head! Our hearts are heavy w/ concern! Hopefully today will be the day of getting some answers!

In Gods Hands!
