Elizabeth is back at the hospital....her abdominal pain is worse and her nausea and shakiness is too. She's on pain meds (a big deal because she never is on pain meds. It tells us how bad she feels : ( ) and is being given iv fluids. Both have already made a difference.
There is nothing more they can do for her for the CDiff right now. It is all about pain control, managing the nausea and giving her the antibiotic to hopefully finally cure the infection. Dehydration is an issue. She tries to drink but one can only take in so much when you are having so much nausea and stomach pain. Eating makes both worse and she has lost weight in the past week. If she isn't able to take in enough we will be forced to start TPN (feeds given thru an iv or catheter). We don't want to go that route.
Tired. Exhausted. Again. Wishing this would stop.
