Yesterday morning, Owen started complaining of pain again. The homecare nurse came out for a visit and couldn't figure out why he would be asking for meds so much since the patch was supposed to help take care of that and decrease his need for morphine. While she was here and I was sitting on the couch with Owen on my lap, I noticed a small sticker which looked mysteriously exactly like the med patch I had put on his arm....Yup-sure enough, while on the floor the previous day, that little stinker had taken the patch off and stuck it on the coffee table!! We put a new patch on him (on his far less reachable back!) and will be playing catch up with the meds until this new one kicks in!
He is sleeping now. Hopefully the meds will start to regulate, keeping his pain at bay, but still allowing him to stay awake!
Have a great day!
