MACE! ' FUSION? or decompression??

Mace' was in O. R, 9hrs,her spirits r down & pain level high,she asked me to c if anyone here had a more difficult time during decompression or fusion? She is fused to C3. She had a VERY difficult time w/ the pump pain meds,she was itching so bad she gave herself 2 BLACK EYES! She was thrashing about so bad from pain & itching she almost had to b restrained,so she wouldn't damage the hardware. She has yet to get her pain level under a 9. She has had the seizure like activity daily & is extremely disturbed by it,when it happens now she said it is excruciating pain none she has ever felt before& she hears a cracking/clicking sound in her neck. Yesterday she spiked a fever. I'm trying to keep it together,so hard to c her suffef. please keep us in ur prayers. THANK U
