Jan is having another difficult day. Several episodes of nausea and vomiting. I am beginning to worry about her becoming dehydrated.
If this pattern of episodic vomiting continues, we may head for the Emergency room, so that she can be rehydrated through an intravenous liquid feeding. Emotionally, she is very labile and thinking about her relatives and friends will bring her to easy tears. Some of these reactions can probably be traced to the effects of the drugs in her system. I suspect that these effects will be markedly reduced when the medications used to suppress the pain and nausea are no longer needed.

She continues to write lesson plans and make phone calls related to her work. She may be taxing her system resources more than she knows. So I continue the gentle intervention of suggesting rest and relaxation as part of the palliative remedy that would now be most useful and helpful to her recovery.

As always, Thanks for your prayers..
