8/2 - Monday

9:30 am - Mom is having a difficult time today. She had a rough night -- vomiting up stomach acid. They have backed off on the feeding from 70 ml per hour down to 30 ml per hour. They will try increasing by 10's again every 2 hours. She is having a great deal of abdomen pain, especially getting in and out of bed.

We did  go for a walk down the hall and made it all the way. Yeah Faye! She is now exhausted.

1:00 - update: Dr. Johnson was in; he said that we are going to continue increasing the amount of food she is getting every 2 hours as tolerated. He also mentioned that he was heading back to his office and will check to see if Mayo Clinic  has left him a message.

Second walk accomplish at 1:10 pm. Back to rest - exhausted again.

5:00 pm - Well mom has been able to move things through her digestive system a little bit this afternoon. However, she also started vomiting again. She is still dealing with a good amount of stomach pain this evening. We have not been able to increase the amount of food  past 40 ml. because she is not feeling well.

    Hi to all! Thanks Patty for the updates. I'm keeping Mary Jo/Aunt Florence informed. We all send our love, strength, and prayers. Trusting that God's plan of shutting some doors and opening others and the new tube are the tickets for what she needs. Take a breath, close your eyes, and imagine a HARD hug from us. Know we're only a phone call away
    (cell 822-7985 hm 784-4208) Luv, Jeanie
