Even though Kami has had more energy the past couple of days, she is having more pain in her chest.
So, it was back to the doctor for Kami. The doctor wanted to do one more physical just to check for anything that she (or the other doctors) have missed. We explained that the pain is getting worse for Kami and that she is needing some relief...constant pain every day is wearing her out.
So the doctor prescribed 3 more medications. The first is a muscle relaxer that Kami will take for 3-5 days. (The doctor said it will make her sleepy and change her mood...does she mean change to grumpy or happy?) If there is no improvement, then she will take another medicine that obstructs the signals that travel through her nerves. (Just to joke around with her, I told her that this medicine makes it so her muscles work in reverse because her nerve signals will be all messed up!...She's a bit nervous now!)
If there is no improvement with this medicine, then she will take an anti-biotic for a week. We can tell at this point that we are on a "Battleship" program...pick a coordinate and see if you hit anything! If not, then try another coordinate!
The doctor seems sure that the anti-biotic will help her but wants to use it as a "last resort". She believes that the anti-biotic will only cover the problem but not actually treat the problem so she wants us to first try these other medicines.
Some great news is that there are only two more days until Kami's parents come for a visit! We are excited!
