Thanks so much for the feedback. I read them all aloud to him, and it gave him some peace. So my next step with the nurse tomorrow is Reglan and Ativan! We were not expecting the nausea and vomiting to last so long after treatment. We were expecting more pain, but not nausea and stomach upset. How does anybody not loose so much weight? If we drip one can into his PEG, he finds that he is so full it is almost coming back up his esophagus.
Thanks again you allowed us to rest a little easier tonight.
