Hippy Love

Annie has been getting great results from using the tincture for her nausea. Literally 5 minutes after ingesting 4 drops of it, the nausea leaves. She woke up at 2am feeling blocked and nausea, she took the tincture, the nausea dropped, but she still felt like "something needs to come out"
I prepared some coffee for her to use in an enema and we got her in the bathroom. She felt better afterwards, but apparently it kept her up all night though. In the morning, she had more nausea, she had more tincture and that took care of it. We think the new patch is causing the nausea. My uneducated opinion is that she will become more acclimated to the patch in a few more days. The fact that she spent most of yesterday pain free is a testament to it's effectiveness. She has cut way back on the darvacet and advil. But still the nausea is unpleasant, but thank god for that tincture!
It's awesome! YEA!!

We got the results from the cbc, the plateletes are at 25 (i apologize, I know not if it's 25 thousand or hundred. it said '25' in her book.) the red blood count at 8.5. Dasher said we should wait a couple days before ordering a transfusion. Her last one was a week and a half ago.

She is out now at her Doc appointments. Lynn and Harry drove her, thanks guys.
Before she left, she ate a good lunch, quinoa, sauteed spinach and onions and a scrambled egg. She ate almost all of it! Also, I made her a fresh juice with green apple, romaine lettuce (yes, lettuce juice) and parsley. The juice is a great way for her to get a powerful pack of nutrients in a small serving. Anytime any of you are here with her and she is having trouble eating, please make her some juice, she needs the vitamins, enzymes and minerals. Feel free to call me if you cant get the juicer together, but it's pretty basic assembly not much harder than leggos.

Julie is on her way up today with a new recliner.

We are still looking for someone to stay with her on Friday night. Also, Julie has to leave Thursday morning at 9:30 to go to work, so Pam is going to need to be here close to that time

thanks everyone and do comment on here so I know people are reading it! I feel like I am in a vacuum cleaner.

Isn't she beautiful? Both in pictures and real life! It is no wonder her children and incredible caregivers love her so. This blog is great...actually this is my first experience viewing or using one, and yes I am related to Silas, but the computer gene he acquired on his own.
My scheduled time with Annie is on the 21st but my actual arrival time (train into Amsterdam) is not firmed down yet, however I do plan on staying until Saturday the 26th and I didn't know how to change it on the calendar.
