Lauren entered the hospital on Sunday, January 4, 2009 (her Grampa Glover's birthday) due to extreme pain. She has been there ever since. She has experienced tremendous pain this past week and is on a lot of pain meds. They make her delirious much of the time. They believe that Lauren had a bacterial infection that is now gone. They also believe that her enlarged liver is pressing on a nerve bundle and causing the extreme pain she is experiencing. They are working daily to try and find a way to manage her pain. It was also found that the IV fluids have not been going into her veins, but into her abdomen and lungs. Her abdomen is swollen to the size of a basketball and very hard. She is having difficulty breathing. However, she has begun taking meds that will re-direct the fluid to her veins which need to stay hydrated. In speaking with my brother today, that med appears to be working. Through all of this she continues to take her next round of experimental drugs.
