IV Saline is in

Saturday, Feb 20, 2010

Liz had pain meds at 215 and 730, then drank too much water at once and vomited it. That hurts so much. We took her downstairs and started a liter of saline. Being novices and because the nurse said she didn't know how fast it would go, she had 3/4 of it in her within about 20 minutes. Then we slowed it down. :) Brad watched her while I went back to bed. Liz even sounded better when I returned - her voice has been so frail and soft. She has still tried to sip fruity juices and water. Her temp is about 99.4 degrees.

She has tried a little smoothie and a tiny bit of milk to neutralize the acidic stuff. So far so good. She kept study drugs down this morning as well.

She has more localized pain on her right side, where her liver is. We hope it will dissipate soon. Heat has helped.
