Saturday: Feb 1st: This morning Brace started throwing up on an empty stomach. At 10am we went to a hydration infusion hoping that might help. We were there for two hours. We are asking the doctor to add anti-nausea for Monday's hydration infusion. Went to Walmart to get a refill of anti-nausea meds. I had a fun chat with Doug Krauss taking his grandaughter out for a walk. Insurance doesn't approve him taking more than one Zofran a day so I just purchased out of pocket. Not expensive but it is a production. He keeps throwing up and feeling absolutely awful. If we can just hold on until the end of next week.... Maybe he will feel better then.... Then we have our last chemo week at the end of February.
Sunday, Feb 2nd: Rough day started with throwing up upon waking up. It just breaks my heart to watch. When he throws up it is usually violent and repetitive. The good news is he has always seems to know about 30 seconds before it comes so he always makes it to the bathroom.
He just felt awful all day with only a little relief through sleeping. We heard back from Dr. Carroll today and he is going to add Kytril to his IV during hydration treatment today. Praying that will make a difference.
Monday, Feb 3rd: Fun call from Penelope to start the day. Another wonderful day starting with throwing up after having a 1/4 of a carton of formula. The good news is the hydration infusion is at 10am and they are going to add anti-nausea to his IV.
Talked with Ashlee at Dr. Carroll's office and they are going to do a blood workup on Friday after his infusion and then we are going to see Dr. Carroll at 2pm. Brace has reached his limit and will be asking the doctor to lower his last chemo dose at the end of February.
I am writing this at the infusion center. His stomach seems to be a little better and he was able to finish one carton (500 calories) of formula through his g-tube.
Thank you's
