One down, three to go

The first day of Ketamine Infusion went well. Kathryn and I BOTH came back to the room and SLEPT!!  She asked afterwards, if the four hours of Infusion are boring for us.  Our answer is that Dr Kirkpatrick keeps us working too hard to get bored 🙂  And, no one but those familiar to the patient can keep the patient comfortable.  The more comfortable the patient is- the more Ketamine a patient can tolerate- the better and longer the pain reduction!  We hope to be able to help Kathryn to tolerate and deal with larger doses as the weak  goes on.  Kathryn got sick at the end, but Dr K hopes to avoid that tomorrow. 

Dave took Joe to the airport just as Dr K released Kathryn for the day- we were VERY SAD to see him go! His being here day one of infusion was invaluable!

OUR HEARTFELT THANKS TO ALL YOU GUYS- WE ARE SO THANKFUL FOR ALL PRAYERS AND COMMENTS!!!
