Getting Nutrition In And Keeping It In

Cathy is having to deal with bouts of nausea again. Combine dealing with the nausea with a lack of desire to eat the purred foods and the issue becomes about getting adequate nutrition. Tonight I by-passed the 'system' and brought Cathy some food from the cafeteria: Cheese quesadilla with lots of sour cream and guacamole. So far she has done pretty well (about half of it down and it is staying down). She is still getting her tube feedings from 6 pm to 6 am, but she needs to take in more calories to put on the weight and strength for the transplant surgery.
