She thought round 2 (which was administered Thursday) was going better than round 1. But then the anti-nausea meds didn't keep up with the nausea feelings this afternoon. She couldn't get anything down (and keep it there) solid or liquid. With that, she couldn't take any anti-nausea medications because they wouldn't stay down. So after 5 hours of this catch-22, off to the ER for a saline IV and two anti-nausea meds through her iv port. Of course this happens on a weekend you know. She's better, but still quite sleepy. Poor kid. I won't tell you how the next anti-nausea meds are administered.... Oh yeah, and all the worse, Friday her hair started falling out. My sister was over and we gave her a mohawk and died it blue. We then went in for a shot that boosts white blood cells Friday and the oncolgy nurses and doctor got a real kick out of that. If you knew my wife, you'd know how out of character that was, which it makes it all the more humorous. As for chicken george, we were there Wednesday, the night before chemo #2! And to make matters all the better, her coworkers got us gift certificates for a couple more dinners there, woo hoo!
