Pete not well again this morning

For the last 3 days, Pete has had to take painkillers to suppress the pain. Yesterday morning, pain was quite intense but it went away after we met Henry and Martha at the market! Pete said God sent angels again to take his pain away.

I gave him the dexa (steroids) early yesterday, after lunch, at the suggestion of the Hospice Home Care Doctor so that he can have a good sleep in the night. However, he did not sleep well, at 3am, he seemed confused and could not get out of bed. Managed only to get up at about 5am. Gave him his dexa 4 mg at 7am and still he complained about bad pain despite Arcoxia (painkillers). Eventually, had to start him on morphine. Brenda, our neighbour, very kindly rushed from work to administer the IV dexa. He says now the pain is gone. I am relieved but he still seems droswy.

Please pray for him. He had been so good, praying a lot more and talkig and eating more, even managed to receive visitors.
