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.
