Tonight is a sleepless night for myself. I've had a rough day with nausea and vomiting because I am out of my nausea medicine and am trying to make it two more days until I can get it refilled. Every time I tried to eat or drink today I got sick. Its frustrating because not only does it hurt to get sick but I'm not keeping down the food I need to eat for our baby boy. I am trying to do my tube feedings through my G/J feeding tube and had to decrease my rate down so that I can tolerate my feeds to get some nutrition that way. I've been trying my preggie pops which are hard candies that have ginger in them which is supposed to help with nausea, mint, and smelling rubbing alcohol but so far nothing is helping. I'm hoping that I can try and get some sleep and maybe that will help me feel a little better... On the bright side we did put our Christmas tree, Christmas village, and other decorations up today! I wasn't able to help as much as I wanted to and had to take breaks but was glad that I was able to do a little bit of decorating. Last year in December I was just getting my feeding tube placed and had complications with it getting infected and then flipping so I didn't get to help decorate for Christmas and spent most of December in the hospital. I was home for Christmas though and even though it was a challenge for me to get through with recovering and slept through most of it, it will be nice that I will be able to enjoy it more this year. I'm trying to get through the night since I'm not feeling well by focusing on the good things and the fact that I get to celebrate and enjoy Christmas this year and thinking of how next Christmas baby Scott Isaac will be here to celebrate his first Christmas!
If you are having a tough night, can't sleep, not feeling well, or whatever it may be I hope that you are able to focus on something good to help you through the tough times! Stay Strong!
