[QUOTE="dreamer, post: 171203, member: 1697"] yeah, we looked online..found many suggestions, and yeah, I thought about the vitamin, too, cuz yes, that did upset me, too. But she has been unable to take even that now for 5 days, everything just comes right back up as soon as she gets it in....we got ginger ale, warm tea, ginger cookies, mint, lemon drops, saltines, plain baked potato, watermelon.... after rehydration today she did finally get approx 1/2 cup jello in....and it stayed so an hour later she tried some plain rice, but the rice did not stay. :-( even with zofran on board. her new zofran is double dose of what they gave her monday...... It can be a fine line to research ourself and then go try to talk to docs, cuz lots of docs get offended if we do our own research....and then seem to want to deliberately NOT do what we found, like their ego is hurt....sometimes I know insurance dictates more than docs might....some docs I think just decide to not bother, maybe they are just running on autopilot or something... in the post about um.....are we panicking?
