Good morning.  I didn't get a chance to post last night so I'm sure you are all anxious for an update.  After the pretty brutal day yesterday, the doctors were able to adjust and add some medications to help ease the intensity of the nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.  By about 6:00, Ed was getting some relief and starting to feel better.  But the day totally wiped him out and we just dozed and watched a little TV.  He was sleeping pretty good by 8:00.  Leo and Georgette came by and met me in the lobby with a good burger and some fries and plenty of hugs and friendship.  I was ready for that!  Thank you.  The cafeteria here is open such short windows of time, I usually miss the meals as I try to wait until Ed's sleeping or resting comfortably before I leave for a few minutes, so the timing is not always in sync.

Ed felt better this morning and got up and took a long shower which always feels good.  Ryan is here and we have the window open a little for some fresh air and we're watching Man vs.Wild on TV, where the guy is eating rattlesnake and bugs - Ed says the protein drink and jello here suddenly seem a lot tastier than he remembers when he ate them last..... Hopefully he'll be able to try them again soon.

He's still not feeling up to visitors yet but loves all the posting comments and cards.  We're not sure how much longer he'll be here at Los Robles, so if you want to send a card, you can mail it to our home and my son brings the mail up every day.  Our address is 2015 Calle Yucca, Thousand Oaks, CA 91360.

Also, a couple of people told me they were having trouble posting a comment to the blog.  I think if you click on the word "comments" at the bottom of the blog updates, it takes you to the comments already posted and at the bottom of those it has a spot to post a new comment.  I don't believe you have to be signed in as a "follower" in order to post a comment but I'm not absolutely sure about that.   I'm new at this blogging stuff myself so I apologize for not being more helpful.

Okay, well, it's 11:10 and the nausea and vomiting are back.  Dr. Ashouri just came in and he's ordering some atrapine for his stomach cramps to see if we can get today's episode under control before it turns into a repeat of yesterday.  I'll log off now so I can sit quietly with him.  I'll let you know how he's doing later.
