Second year Day 264 - Tuesday September 3, 2013

What a night we had last night!  Poor Arrianne stayed with us and she had school to content with afterwards!  We had planned to leave today, but this is what happened during the night.  First Bridgett went to bed at like 8:30, and then at 10:00 she woke up in terrible pain.  I had to give her Lortab and do tuning forks, etc.  She got back to sleep after about a half and hour and then I spent time talking to the girls.  This is the first night that Stephany has felt good enough to just talk, although she got tired easily.  Tonight Arrianne had a little melt down about Bridgett.  She just misses Bridgett so much and talked to me about how things would have been if Bridgett hadn't had her wreck.  She talked about how they'd be living together and all the fun they'd have.  It's so hard on everyone and we all totally know what she is feeling, although of course, they had a special time together as roommates.  Anyway, I spent time talking to her and hugging her and trying to explain and comfort her.  It was after midnight before we all got settled down to sleep. Then at 2:00 a.m. Bridgett woke up again moaning and unable to move.  I had to give her another Lortab and it took another half an hour to get her settled back in on the heating pad.  Then at 4:00 she woke up again and the pain was just as bad.  I gave her another Lortab (because she can have two at once) and we walked in the room.  I was considering taking her out in the hallway.  Of course, Arrianne was up each time, as she was sleeping in the bed with Bridgett.  At 4:00 I had her move to the bed with Stephany and finally got everyone settled back down.  At 6:00 Bridgett was up again and we did leave the room and go walking.  At that time I sent Faith a text (she's always up early), asking for help about what to do.  This never happens, where Bridgett has pain after we leave Faith's!  So, she said that it was all brain related and told me where to do the tuning forks for the brain--using a different fork then we usually use and in a different area then we normally do.  So, it worked!  Immediately the pain left!  I love those things!  The hard part is knowing where to do them and which ones to use:)  A little bit later the kidney pain returned with a vengeance.  Faith said that it is all related and connected to the brain, and said do those same brain points.  It worked again!  Anyway, I called Mark at 8:00 and told him that I'm exhausted and couldn't possibly drive today.  I am going to try to nap as much as I can.  I felt bad for Arrianne, having to go to class after that bad night.  Mark wondered if we could leave about 4:00 and go as far as Idaho Falls, but we can't stay that late in the hotel without paying for another day and then we'd be paying for two nights!  It doesn't make sense, but then I'm too tired to make sense of anything:)
