Breathing Machine / Pain

6:50 p.m. Jason got more morphine. Toradol was approved for pain by Dr. Oesterling but not here yet, so he is happy with morphine for now. Breathing is painful in the machine and he got it up to 1,000 and he was at 3,000 before surgery. They said 1,000 is great, most patients only get to 500 with a lot of encouragement. I see some of you called Jason and over achiever on your comments and those are words the nurses are using too.

6:55 p.m. Jason is asking and got more morphine.

Glad to hear everything went so well!! The guys are all asking if Jason will be ready to pitch for fallball. The season doesn't start for 3 more weeks.... :)

I feel like I can finally take a breath now! I think I've been holding it in all day. It sounds like you are doing great!!! Now if I could only get my friend back at work soon....it's boring here without you - and it's been less than a week! Only about 6 more weeks to go.... :-)
