Day 8

Same song, different verse ....... Chad did not get the TPN IV today.  He did eat a few mouthfuls of food,  but is still bothered by consistent nausea. It is pretty debilitating. It's nearly impossible for him to do anything except sleep or lay in bed with his eyes closed. The nurses tell him he needs to get up and walk but he says that he will vomit if he does.  Since surgery day, he has not looked at his computer, iPod or cell phone. These are items that a teenager cannot live without, so we know he is miserable.  Too bad there's no cure for nausea. He seems to make it through the day without vomiting but the evenings are the time when we start worrying.  He began vomiting this evening at 9:30 pm.  He was so close to making it through the whole day. So, we have high hopes for tomorrow.
