Tonya Update

Welcome to day 18 of Tonya's hospital stay,

Today the doc said he didn't believe Tonya's pain pump was infected. He is going to call the pain management doctor Monday to see about getting some advice on the pump. Tonya told the doc she had to have the pump refilled by Thursday at the very latest. The doctor told her she wasn't going anywhere until he found out what is wrong with her. She is still running a temp. The doctor has also ordered blood tests that can't even be done at the hospital lab. I don't know what tests he is requesting but it must be something that isn't done on a regular basis.

Since Tonya has to have her pump refilled no later than Thursday, I am going to talk to the hospital administrator tomorrow to see if we can arrange some type of way to get the pump refilled and still allow Tonya to have all the tests done that she needs. Maybe something will give before Thursday and we will know what's going on before then. Maybe I'll know more tomorrow. I have to go back to work tomorrow so the update for Monday and Tuesday will be late in the evening.

Until day 19,
Brian
