PCM, ER

Sierra wasn't feeling well last night or this morning so we called her PCM and got an appointment with the PA Hayley.  She was able to schedule the abdominal ultrasound we have been needing.  And gave Sierra some more nausea meds.  Nothing for pain though which was ok because we didn't expect that but it doesn't mean Sierra isn't actually in pain. We waited a couple of hours after the doc and Sierra tried to eat something.  That went ok but her pain was out of control. So off to the ER we went to see our friends.  Sad when they know our faces/names.  Saw dr. Skinner again, he drew labs, all normal, and gave dilauded for pain and Zofran for nausea.  I am really wondering if Sierra has absorbtion issues.  Meds go so much better for her when given through an iv or shot.  Next thing on our list to check out.  

This pic is once the meds started kicking in.  I am thankful that iv pain relief works.  Hate going to the ER over and over.  Stay strong.

"All I am doing is living with my disability. People say that they admire my strength and my optimism in the face if my illness. Just remember: the only alternative I have is giving up, but I will never stop fighting for my health. I will never stop fighting those who try to tell me that I am young and skinny and therefore "healthy". My invisible illness puts me through a different battle every day. My strength comes from years of practice, believe me, I wasn't always this amazing 😜 But I think that over the years I've earned the title superwoman 😉 thanks to all those who've lent me their strength until I was able to find my own, you're all my favorite super hero."
