I swallowed the camera pill again today. We forgot to take a picture before I swallowed it... shoot. :) I had a minor emotional meltdown this morning, but am feeling better again.
I continue to vomit everthing known to man... if I don't eat or drink anything, I just throw up stomach acid. I think that's the most frustrating thing of all.
Dr. Mohan (gi specialist) has increased my IV fluids to 1 liter per day, instead of just 500 ml. I'm hoping that will help with my cramping.
I have an appointment to see Dr. Patterson (another gi specialist) on Wednesday--we're hoping that he will order TPN or PPN (bags of nutrition with fats, proteins, etc) The home care nurse can give that to us if the doctor orders it... but she warned me that some docs want to hospitalize patients when they first go on nutrition therapy.
We are continuing to do okay... I'm pretty exhausted--but I'm trusting God for strength to make it through.
The bible verses that keep running through my head and heart is from Romans 5... "And not only that, but we* also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us. For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. "
amen.

Brelin: You are in our prayers truly and regularly. There are many praying for you... I know this first hand by the number of people asking about you to those of us in the prayer ministry.
Patience without fear and anxiety is so very hard... meltdowns allowed!
