Day Four

Well.... not a lot has changed today.... unfortunately the nausea and sickness Jules had yesterday has continued into today.... its doesn't seem any worse .... or any better for that matter. So they have put her on a saline drip (to make sure she has enough fluids).... and changed the anti nausea drug for a different one early this afternoon.... this had two effects; she quickly said she felt a lot better... and then said she felt sleepy ..... so when the senior nurse came back to see how she was getting on she explained that sleepiness was a side effect of that particular drug. She also said that she thought that this was probably about as bad as the nausea should get .... and that what they were looking out for now was signs of infection.
It seems that no two people respond in the same way with this disease..... and so they have to take a lot of care with each patient.... and I can see that they are taking good care of her .... I couldn't see how they could do more.
So later on Jules said that she was happier... and that she'd much rather feel sleepy than nauseous .... and then into doormouse mode!
