Just say NO to Drugs? Whatever...

This handy chart is on the wall. I circled the 10 which is "hurts worst"...I mean she was crying afterall. So this is where we were...

So, they gave her some pain medicine and that helped for a little while. Then they were going to give her more, but since she is so tense they decided that wouldn't help. So they ordered the epidural...I guess good things come in small packages...this little tray is going to make everything better!

Tara had to sit up in the bed so they could get her in place for the epidral. This is her nurse Beth (who is awesome and has been helping her breathe!) and the anesthesiologist taking her through the procedure. We had to leave the room for this...

And...finally...all better. Mom is smiling again!

I didn't get a picture, but Uncle Jerry (my step dad) came to visit...and so did Renee, Tara's friend from work.
