Still a Slight Pain

This evening the Dr. says there is still no "distinct explanation" as to what is causing the pain. He also said he's not comfortable yet even talking about dismissing him, even though the pain is not quite as intense. Right now there's no indication of infection or bacteria, which is great news, but the Dr. says he would feel better waiting until all the blood culture results are in.

Ray is still on some morphine, but using it very, very conservatively. In case I haven't mentioned it before: he's so afraid of becoming addicted to pain killers, that he won't use them when he really does need to be. (possibly due to the media not letting MJ rest in peace? ha!) Even though two different Drs. have explained (at great length) to him it's not very likely for him to become addicted. Sooo, sometimes he's his own worst enemy. But, it's easy for me to judge from bedside.

Love you all,
Kim
