Feeling Better

Hi All

Mom is feeling and acting better tonight. Yes Maria, it is thrush. Now Mom is on Diflucan for 10 days. I think part of the problems with her driftiness was all the meds to prevent nausea from the chemo. She had 3 of them and 2 make you drowsy. Also the oxycodone makes her drowsy too. By the way she had NO nausea with the chemo.

After taking her last pain med at 11am today at the coumadin clinic she slept almost all evening. She woke up 3 times and only asked for pain meds at 1145pm. She was walking better and much more coherent.

Several of these meds increase her protime so we've cut her dose of warfarin (coumadin) in half.
They will manage it from the oncologist's office.

Thanks for all the prayers. I appreciate it and so does Mom.

How many meds is Nana taking? It sounds like a lot.

Have they made sure that non interact with each other, with the chemo or with the drug study?

Sorry, I am just a bit of a worrier.
