Ketamine booster today

Kathryn is almost through another Ketamine booster (a one day treatment.) She had some rough moments but she won’t remember them later. She always handles these nightmare rides with great strength and courage!

Dad came to help today! A helper always makes things much easier 🙂

Kathryn had wisdom teeth removed last week which came with BIG jaw pain for her and a spread of CRPS pain and sensitivity to her face and an overall increase of pain.

Like many with CRPS, so much BIG pain and so many confusing misfires of her pain system for so many years mean that Kathryn doesn’t always easily unpack what’s happening with her pain. Through today’s evaluation and treatment we can see that her pain was flaring and spreading. Ketamine has eased the pain for today and, as always, we ask your prayers that this treatment will lower her pain for a very long time.

I will praise you, O LORD, with all my heart …..When I called, you answered me; You made me bold and stouthearted.  Psalm 138:1, 3
