Thank you.
She's asleep now, so if she stays asleep til tomorrow I will take her then. If she wakes up I'll take her tonight. She took a sleeping pill. Her symptoms are pain in the stomach,
nausea, she can hardly eat anything. She also makes a vocal noise when she breathes, she said it's voluntary and helps her, and it doesn't always mean pain, but she only does it when having an attack. She also sighs loudly. I have never heard her make noises like that, like groaning and grunting.
Zantac helped her a lot at first, then it stopped and she got on
Prilosec. The Prilosec never helped. I got her to cut down on wheat and sugar, seems it gets worse when she eats those.
Can you tell me what the hospital can do, so that she won't suffer so much? Can they put her on an IV so she gets nutrients? Can they stop the pain? Would they do surgery on someone that old? The GI doc didn't even really want her to have the
endoscopy or
colonoscopy but said she could if she wanted. He thought she was too old for the risks.
