The last 24 hours have been nausea-free, and Penny was able to eat at least a little at all three meals yesterday. So that’s good progress.
But because she has eaten so little in the last 14 days, it was decided to do a couple days of IV nutrition. That began yesterday evening.
If she stays nausea-free and is able to eat better, the IV nutrition might just be a short bridge. There is also the possibility of continuing some IV nutrition at home, but for the first 48-hours, they need to monitor things closely (lots of blood tests to make sure they have the right mix of nutrition).
So that’s the plan for today: monitor the IV nutrition and continue to advance the diet.
