Six weeks ago I thought I was losing my son. I called my\u00a0neurosurgeons\u00a0office in tears, as Nic laid in pain with no ideas on what or how to help him. I slept with him because I was scared of the nurses. I was scared he would die in the middle of the night alone. It was as I said last blog “brutal”. \u00a0As Sandra said tonight “You candy coated the last blog…it was beyond grim.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nic’s pain started with a bladder infection. When you have a spinal cord injury, your brain over reacts much of the time. Especially if you have an infection. His brain knows something is wrong so sends crazy signals to anywhere to signal a problem. So they medicated him with Hydro morphine. (5 Xs as strong as normal morphine) that caused him to be terribly\u00a0constipated. And his brain again sent those pain signals everywhere. He wanted to die, the pain so unbearable.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This vicious circle didn’t end until my call to Dr. Das’ office. Then \u00a0came a Doctor of Internal Medicine, Dr Rashid Gupta. Handsome, kind and brilliant. The things the doctors had not done for 3 weeks, he did in days. He stuck a tube down Nic’s nose, cleared his bowels, then because he specializes in addictive medications…got him off all the morphine. \u00a0 Ok I believe in Angels again. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If anyone ever has to go through this, which I am sure is\u00a0inevitable\u00a0with a Spinal Cord Injury, please tell them about this blog… I felt so alone, so scared. I called every one I knew that could help us. I wish I knew where to go so much earlier…and so much pain ago. I would help anyone not go through this.<\/p>\n

Those days are behind us now \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Pictures are worth a thousand words…don’t you think?<\/p>\n
