Amy, maybe I should try to just give him the zofran, then if that isn't enough add compazine and then another. Maybe you are right that there is just too much meds going in. He says his pain is at about a 6 but he doesn't want to take any more meds. Maybe if the Zofran controls the nausea he will take something for pain. I think I will try to warm up the nutrition a little. We will be getting a kangaroo pump tomorrow and we will start feeding at night while sleeping. As of 8:30 pm he has had one boost and no water. We will be getting IV fluids tomorrow. Thanks for your help. Valerie
