living on the BRAT diet to get jackie back to eating once again.
you know Bananas, Rice, Applesauce, Toast...
ok, but jackie doesn't like Bananas or Applesauce, so i guess it was the RT diet.
that worked ok, got to add some butter in the rice, (per nurse's instructions).
next step adding some chicken in the diet.
that went over very well, so now it's saturday, and she's pretty much back to eating whatever she wants.
sleeping is pretty good, she does still wake up every night, sometimes it's the coughing, which has become a regular part of life.
sometimes it's from tony ping-ponging off the hall walls. (thanks pete and lori!)
it's always fun to see if food will taste good to her or not each day.
but, the color is back to her cheeks, she has been up and down the steps doing some laundry today.
(no, i'm not sleeping on the job, i somehow convinced her it would be good therapy. - no shame, huh?)
in other news, the state of ohio has decided i could use a little cash, i'm now getting my extension on the unemployment.
so, things are pretty good,
and still a week and a half away from the next chemo.
good times all around!
namaste,
dab
p.s. jackie loves the cards and good thoughts that she has been getting everyday in the mail. kind of gives tha mailman something to do, and makes her very happy!
thanks for the update. I did think you were sleeping on the job.
