Wednesday is a bit better

The over the counter meds seems to have done the trick for Mary's nausea. She still sleeps after taking the vicodin but she doesn't have the nausea she was suffering yesterday. And she is holding onto her food.
What over the counter meds? Well, she had trouble holding down her meals by 7pm last night. So I called the doc and got his on call physician. He suggested that an over the counter med might provide relief from the nausea induced by the vicodin. I did a quick trip to Walgreens and picked up the Benadryl. Mary took one and went back to sleep. About midnight she woke up and was hungry so we tried a simple toast and tea and she was ok with it.
She was feeling good when she woke up this AM and ate the breakfast I fixed for her. She said during our call today that she was definitely feeling better and the Benadryl was clearly helping the nausea.

We are now preparing for the arrival of Tim, Lara and Daniel with grand girls Madelyn, Emma and Charlize. It should be a great Easter weekend!
