Vickie traveled to a small local outdoor music venue this evening with a sister. A one time episode, possibly motion sickness caused a delay but didn't interfere with her enjoying the event.

Vickie made it thru the day without any significant problems, for a change.

It seems Vickie can't get a good break. In route to her Dr's for tests this afternoon, she became sick again. She followed thru with the appointment despite the illness. After a few hours she was able to get settled down and sleep.

Another of the early morning onset nausea episodes disrupted Vickie's morning. There seems to be a regularity about this situation, still without an explaination for the cause or a viable way to prevent their occurrence. Later in the day she always returns to her normal self.

Vickie was able to travel to and spend the afternoon at a family gathering without assistance from her primary caregiver. She enjoyed the visit, especially with the young ones. We are trying to expand her experiences to help her become more aware and self sufficient.

Vickie's appetite is slowly increasing, to the point now that all her nutrition is from meals.
She has started on a new anti-biotic to aggressively treat the persistent infection.

An early morning nausea episode was a bad start to Vickie's day. The incidents seem to becoming more frequent again. We still don't have a definite cause. Later in the morning she recovered and behaved as if it never happened.

A bout of the nausea this evening ruined what had otherwise been a pleasant day.

Today is a bittersweet anniversary for those of us close to Vickie. It was one year ago this morning that she was first stricken. On that morning we couldn't imagine the chain of events that would transpire over the course of the year.
Vickie is still making progress albeit slowly, but considering the alternative we gladly accept the situation we have now.

Vickie had another pleasant day. She is still eating well and her sleep pattern is improving.

Sunday, June 12, 2005

Just when things appeared to be going well, Vickie suffered another nausea episode early in the morning. She slept most of the day recovering from the nights distress.
She did rebound some this evening, managing to eat a fair amount for dinner.

Vickie is slowly regaining her appetite. She no longer needs extra nourishment. Her sleep pattern is also improving.
