Last night Sergio was very restless in his sleep, tossing and turning a lot. He kept waking up crying uncontrollably and jamming his fist into his mouth trying to take the edge off his pain. The pain team were eventually called and a rescue dose of methadone was administered quickly. It certainly settled him out straight away as the crying stopped.
Yesterday they had just started to wean the methadone medication but Sergio had displayed early signs of experiencing withdrawal symptoms even before falling asleep. He was sweating so much that his pajamas and bed linen were completely soaking wet. It is extremely hard and sad to see him suffer like this during these necessary yet difficult pain medication weans.
Sergio’s Aunt Belen and Uncle Rafa unfortunately had to fly back to Madrid this evening. The week just flew by so quickly for all us. It was great having them here visiting but family goodbyes are always sad affairs. The twins really bonded with them with much ease and so shall miss having them around.
Anoche, Sergio estaba muy inquieto durmiendo por la noche, dando muchas vueltas. No dejaba de despertarse llorando incontrolablemente y poniendo el puño en la boca tratando de tomar el borde de su dolor. El equipo medico vino y le dio mas metadona para su dolor rápidamente. Sin duda, se resolvio el problema inmediatamente ya que dejo de llorar.
Ayer se le había comenzado a dejar de depender de la medicación con metadona pero Sergio había mostrado signos tempranos de experimentar síntomas de abstinencia, incluso antes de quedarse dormido. Sudaba tanto que el pijama y la ropa de cama estaban completamente empapados. Es muy duro y triste verlo sufrir de esta manera durante estos signos de abstienencia por los medicamentos.
La tía y tío de Sergio, Belén y Rafa lamentablemente tuvieron que volar de regreso a Madrid esta noche. La semana pasó volando, tan rápida para todos nosotros. Fue genial tenerlos aquí visitando a la familia, pero las despedidas siempre son tristes. Los gemelos realmente se unieron con ellos con mucha facilidad, y les echaran de menos tenerles a su alrededor.
