The nurse had started him at 20 mg per hour which is as high as she can set it. The Dr. came in about 45 min later and upped it to 25 mg per hour. He got a little goofy but really didn't have any effects like the past 2 days. so with 2 hours left the Dr. raised it 1 more time to 30 mg. per hour. That is as high as he dares go in office. He did feel that boost. Still no kitties or silly things like the first day. I am ok with that since it sucks seeing your kid stoned. I didn't notice the flairs in pain that he had the first 2 days but Trav says he had a few.
The nurse flushed the remaining Ketamine from the iv tube and that gave him a boost. So he did get about 10-15 mins of "no pain"but we didn't get much exercise out of it. He needs about 4 hours of that feeling every day. To do that he will have to be hospitalized. which we might end up doing but will decide that at the end of the week. I just hope he can get something out of this that will last and give him some hope that he can beat this disease.
I think there has been a few very small improvements but convincing Trav has been hard. So fingers crossed and still hoping for some changes tomorrow and Fri.
