Hope is sick

This pic was taken in November, when we went out for Cousin Ian's birthday party.  Hope isn't looking quite as good today.  She started vomitting on Thursday, and has been on the couch ever since.  This morning she is keeping some water and meds down, so it looks like she's on the uphill swing.

Ashley had a bad day on Thursday despite the laser therapy on Wednesday evening.  The Palliative Care/Symptom Management team came over to discuss options.  So, the plan is to start morphine.  Unfortunately, the pharmacy did not get the meds out to us last night.  So, we'll suffer through the weekend, and get them on Monday.  This included Hope's Granisitron which she really needs to stop the vomitting.  Hopefully we can manage without it.

This is going to be a long weekend for you guys. Wondering why the pharmacy can't "rush" these things when it's a palliative patient. Grrrr.... the wheels of government run slowly.
