Here we are again in the same familiar place with me hijacking April’s blog to give an update on what has happened since I left everyone last night.  So yesterday April was moved up to what they call a post surgical diet 2 which includes all liquids, some raw fruits, raw veggies, crackers, pudding, and some meats like chicken or turkey.  April took it easy only eating a few bites here and there making sure not to overdo it.  Later in the evening though, April became extremely nauseated and vomited.  She vomited 650ml of fluids and bile.  650ml is quite a bit, over half a liter. The other problem was that she had taken her meds no more than a minute before so most of them came up, but if the nurses can not find the pills or see them they have to assume they stayed in April’s stomach.  After this she was only allowed sips of water with her meds.  She slept ok through the night usually waking up every two hours or so in pain.  So I did our ritual of helping put her in a new position and stuffing pillows in the appropriate areas to keep her back straight.
