October 3, 2022: Because I know you are waiting for a vomit update 😂

Monday, October 3, 2022 · by kathy howe

And I don’t want to hold you in suspense any longer —

NO MORNING VOMIT!! I REPEAT: NO MORNING VOMIT!

He agreed to be woken up at 4 am to take his ativan (anti-nausea) and that seemed to have worked. And he went back to sleep straight away, as did I (and I think John did too?)

Yay for problem solving!

And so far so good for this morning keeping his meds down. I made a list because he’s now taking something every 2 hours (from 10:30 am - 10:30 pm)  but only 1 of those is a chemo med, the rest are managing the “side effects” of the high dose methotrexate from 9/22 (and side effects is a bogus name: they are primary effects, just unwanted primary effects.)

hope you all are having a good Monday! Glad ours is off to a good start. Thanks for all the cheering and support!
