The newest info available.....So as many of you know we have not made very much progress since being admitted into the hospital. After speaking with Maggie's hospital doctor and in coordination with the doctors in charge of her care, Sean, the doctors and I have agreed that we need to be more aggressive with the medications in order to see if we can get Maggie comfortable. She is just miserable and agitated all of the time and is not sleeping (therefore neither are we). We are going to be increasing the dosage and the frequency of the morphine and adding haldol to the mix to help with Maggies behavioral discomforts such as brushing her teeth 30 times an hour, rotating out the same suckers repeatedly and hitting her head in frustration. We know the results this medication is supposed to have and we really just need to get Maggie in a more comfortable state as we cannot sit and watch her suffer this way any longer. The increased dose started this morning and will continue so we will update as things progress (or don't) and we hope to see a happier, more relaxed Maggie. Thank you all for your love, support and prayers, we cannot thank you enough!
