Day 7
We thought that this was the day that Chad would really make good progress, but.....not so much. He started off the day with a bowl of cereal and also took a few walks, but as the day went on the nausea got worse. He was vomiting by late afternoon. So, he is back on a liquid diet. Tomorrow will mark 7 days after surgery and that is when the doctors seriously consider putting in a TPN IV for nutritional supplementation. Chad has lost a considerable amount of weight since he has not eaten much for 7 days.

Darn it. We were so hoping for a quick recovery after the surgery. We're still sending the good vibes up north. Wish they were more helpful than they appear to be. Besides the fact that Chad can't eat, is everything else about what it supposed to be? Is his strength dependent on his food intake? Does this mean he's just plain pooped? Hang in there everyone. You are certainly in the right place for good medical advice. Much love, Cathy and Ned
