Maybe A Little Better Today

16. February 2009 by admin.

 Sarah started out the day like the last few with vomiting, upset stomach, and just wanting to lay in bed. She took an nap this afternoon and seemed to be a little better after that. She wanted some macaroni and cheese so I ordered some for her. She ate until she was full. It didn’t take long considering how much her stomach has shrunk. She ate about two hours ago and hasn’t vomited yet, so I am hopeful that she will get better from here. Of course it could be the round of steroids they gave her early this morning. I think they are trying to figure out what is making her so sick. It could be the fluid filling in the open space in her head. It could be some of the medications, or it could be some kind of stomach bug. There is not much proof of it being a stomach bug.

I am starting to doubt her getting to go home this week (maybe the end of the week). I think they would have to wait for this round of steroids to wear off to see if it is masking a problem. Hopefully she won’t need a shunt for fluid problems.

She played a game and did some coloring with me, so she is starting to “wake up” a little.

I tried to get her to smile, but she wasn’t in the mood yet
