Manic Monday . . .

Today was EXTREMELY taxing for some reason. We left the house last night with all of us in tears. I thought this was supposed to get easier. Brian had an extremely rough weekend, with him being very fatigued and queasy. We were able to get him on some new medications which I can already see a difference. He actually ate food today for the first time since Wednesday. What a relief for me! He has dropped way too much weight already and if he loses any more weight they will be putting a G-tube in. They have already threatened that. So I am sitting down tonight and making a "feeding" and medication schedule and he better abide by it, or else! :o) The doctor said today that if he gives me any problems that I am to call her and she will yell at him so I don't have to. (Kinda like that phone call my mom used to make - if you don't straighten up I will call your father at work and you will talk to him!!). Brian will also be going in every 3rd day to get IV fluids and a nausea drug to make sure he can eat. That was a big relief for me, because that was weighing heavily on me. You can already see that this has taken its toll on him. I can see it in his eyes.

    Try offering Brian the Myoplex protein shakes. They are easy to digest, high in protein and carbs and taste pretty good, especially if you chill them well. They're in the store close to where you would find the Ensure or Slim Fast but are much higher quality (and more expensive but worth it). These are my go to when someone won't eat much, has a sore throat, or is recovering from an injury. Grab some straws to make sipping easier.
