Paul's MRI report showed there was a pull of the muscles at his shoulder area and it needs couple of weeks to heal and the doctor has sent an occupational therapist to assist and teach him some exercise. The abdominal xray is normal and doctor said the bloatedness and pain are caused by the tumour. The enzyme in his liver has improved but the jaundice is still on the high side.

The oncologist had ordered morphine patch for paul and it's pasted on his left chest. Despite this, he's still having pain at the abdomen every three-four hourly. Morphine was given thru his ng tube on top of the patch and he's been retching and vomitting since he had the patch on which according to the doctor, it's one of the side effects of the morphine. Today is the first time he got out of the bed to walk one round since the procedure on last tuesday. He's been very weak and his spirit had been low which is understandable esp when he's in pain and discomfort.

It's been quite a few difficult nights for him as his nausea and pain occur more in the night than daytime. Well what more can we do except to just continue to focus on God and may His Will b done!
