Wednesday Morning: Step Backwards
From Holly: It is a lovely morning outside here in Durham. Inside room 9202 it's not so sunny. The nausea has gotten the better of Teresa. She had a rough night and feels crummy this morning. They have boosted the Atavan and added a scopalamne patch which should start to help by the afternoon. She's lying quietly at the moment. All the great comments, thoughts and prayers have really kept us both going. The infusion will end during the day on Friday--something to aim for now. After it stops, she should start to feel better--the nausea should ease, though she will be fatigued for quite a while. Ah, the doctors are here. Later, all. Thinking of you all and holding you in our hearts

Hi Teresa and Holly - I can't believe how strong you both are!When I was sitting in the hospital with Gail after her appendix burst - she had continuous migraine headaches afer surgery. The migraines lead to nausea and her surgeons didn't have a clue how to treat migraine headaches - so it took quite a while to get her some relief. They finally gave her something which basically knocked her out for hours at a time - blessed sleep - I'll never underestimate it again. Love to you both. We'll come see you whenever you are up to it.
Chris
