Past 2 days have been very hectic. Isabelle has been very sick the past couple days. Yesterday she threw up probably about 6-7 times, even with her medicine for nausia. She barely ate anything either. On the way to the clinic she threw up 3 different times where we had to pull over, change her clothes, and wipe her down. (We of course had to wear gloves and handle with care) When we arrived at the clinic it took longer than expected because we saw a nurse practitioner as well as the chemo. Isabelles weight has dropped again, but shes not the lowest that shes been, so they're not overly concerned. (They do want the nausia to stop though. ) She prescribed us 2 more medicines for nausia to try instead. One of them causes drowsiness which I'm not thrilled about since shes been very tired. She slept about 80% of yesterday, but she was also not feeling well. For her evening chemo she spit it all out, all over the place. Abel had to make more, we changed her clothes, linen, and wiped her down. (Had to wear gloves because of the toxicity) So exhausting.
Today Isabelle was worn out and did not eat much in the early day. After her first dose of her new nausia medicine, her appetite picked up. (this is the one of the 2 that doesn't cause drowsiness) When we went to the clinic, she threw up in the car, but she made it in the bag! Her chemo push actually went very quickly today, thank goodness! She did throw up the little bit of food she ate earlier in the day, but we left after only 20 minutes! We even beat traffic!! She ate a good sized dinner, which was nice too. Just when I thought the day was going well, Abel went to give her the nightly chemo and she spit it out everywhere. So it was pretty much a repeat of the night before. So tired, but tomorrow is the last day of clinic chemo until Tuesday!! Hopefully this new nausia medicine will make my baby feel better.
