Hospital Trip: Round 2
Hello from Nacogdoches Memorial.
I have to say that things are looking a little better this time around as far as where we are headed next. Unfortunately, the pain is still uncontrollable and even a little worse for Maegan this go-around.
Maegan got admitted much quicker this time under the care of her Internal Medicine Specialist, Dr. Savage. He has been very understanding and was the first to diagnose her with having a neuromuscular disorder. He admitted her under pain management with the intention of getting her to a specialist in Houston. This is definitely an answered prayer! Instead of going around in circles, we know have a doctor who has a plan and won't send her home with some pills and a hearty "good luck".
It's easy to hear the good news and forget that Maegan is still in terrible pain. When you do pray be sure to thank God for that good news but don't stop there! Pray for pain relief so that she can rest comfortably. Pray that we find a doctor who has the ability to treat the actual disorder and not just cover up the symptoms with pain medication.
Maegan's ER doctor said it best a little earlier this evening: "If someone is standing on your toe, we can give you all the pain meds in the world, but that's not going to get that person off your toe."
Those, my friend, are words that we are living by.
-God Bless

We are praying for accurate diagnosis, successful treatment, and full recovery. Thrilled to hear that a specialist in Houston is in your future. God bless you and give you peace and relief from pain. Love you both.
