Sat 01 Apr 2017 Nausea and misery

Not a happy camper

Thursday was a big day....a tube down to the nose to the stomach, a drip and seemingly endless white liquid down the tube. Not a nice way to start a day.

The good folk at the hospital decided enough was enough, the toileting problems needed to be solved - one way or another. Unfortunately Elise was miserable, hungry (as she wasn't allowed to eat), nauseated, crampy etc etc. Today Elise said it was one of the worst days of her life! ...maybe an exaggeration but we got the point.

Friday was pretty bad but at least the tube finally came out and she was entertained by another x-ray. Elise's cousin Abby came for a sleepover which really helped with distraction.

Saturday...well...Saturday it got better as the day went. Started with nausea, cramping etc but finally the ordeal was over by the afternoon and Elise was able to eat fried rice with veg curry - yum! (oh, it wasn't hospital food ;-)

Just a minute ago Elise texted us from hosp (she was too sick to come home for Sat sleepover), the doctor had visited and well - the X-ray indicated it had mostly worked...mostly worked! Well, that is not enough.... so the next step is a old home remedy.... treacle and milk up the other way :-(
