It's harder than we think

Mom's pain has increased in the past couple of days. We were hoping that it was the stress of having a birthday and a new caregiver all at the same time, but it turns out that it is just the progression of the disease. Her pain is significantly worse, and includes the upper portion of her back. We are in the process of working with her nurse to see if we can get something a little more potent for her pain.
The pain has made moving around for her more difficult, which has increased the difficulty in keeping her lungs clear. She is running a low grade fever and may need to go back on antibiotics. Please pray for relief for her.
