Here is an early update for today. Elena has been battling pain and nausea for most of the morning. Her doctors have increased her baseline pain medicine to help stay in front of the pain. This is seems to be helping, but it is also making Elena more sleepy. That is not altogether a bad thing as she needs her rest. Please pray that Elena's pain and nausea will subside, and that her rest will be healing.
On another note, we heard from Jaye Watson this morning and the story will run during the 7 0'clock news tonight on 11Alive.
Thank you for all you do for all of us!
In Him,
The Tates

Thanks for the update, I was just about to get ready for the 5pm news...so we'll tune in at 7pm :) ...hang in there - some people say that ginger can help with nausea...if she can stomach a small piece of ginger or peppermint. I know that they give our kids all the best meds, but maybe something simple can help sometimes too ...xoxo The Slaters
ReplyDeleteThe piece on 11Alive was great. And Brenda's last word was right on, also. Ginger can help with nausea. And that includes ginger ale if she can drink some.
ReplyDeleteAll of you are in my prayers daily. Here is a paraphrase on an old saying: Cancer, Cancer, go away. Never come back any day!!
