Second Day Home

Sorry, not very creative titles right now. We spoke with Dr. Glotzbecker in Boston about an hour ago, 6:30pm. (Yes that's right CE people, Dr. Glotzbecker's husband and Melissa Glotzbecker's husband are third cousins). She was not as concerned about Linda's constant nausea as we were. She said one day was not unusual, but that after two days we should be much more aggressive with the anti-nausea medication, alternating the Compazine and the Ativan every 3 hrs round the clock, and the Zantac every 12 hrs. They gave us these pills and we should be using them, she said.
She was also relieved to hear that Linda was drinking and processing lots of water, which meant her kidney function was returning to normal. I guess we'll push the nausea meds and try again in the morning.

Luv ya,

Linda and Jim

We hope that those drugs kick in and do what they are supposed to. We hope that you have a restful night.
Love,

Have you seen "Desperate Housewives" lately? Linette (who is also fighting cancer) ate some killer brownies that really kicked her nausea...might be a good excuse to travel to Jamaica-man! (Just a little humor to help forget how crummy things feel right now.)

Love ya,
Kelli

I just wanted to say hello. I'm a friend of Andrea's and I've met you at Capt'n Bills in Wilmington several times. I just wanted to write that I'm thinking about you and am awaiting your return to Wilmington so we can play some vball. Keep on pushing.

Did you know that this blog is #6 in the list when you google "Advantage Linda," behind two real estate companies and three other sites. You're very popular, mom!
