beginning


going to post here on a daily basis about c's ongoing health problems

date - feb 5th, 2014
weight - 79
meds today - nasonex, zoloft, medical mj pill

yesterday ate cheese its and a granola bar.  puked up everything.  had 2 sprites and 1/2 red bull.  did nazonex twice.  took zoloft.  smoked mj once.  threw up 3 times.  stomach pain was a six.  slept most of the day and night.

Yesterday, decided to cut out caffeine and energy drinks.  will do this for 2 weeks starting today, feb 5th.

tried being gluten free for one week and did not improve at all.  done with gluten free test.

has been throwing up everything for at least 4 days.  last meal that stayed down was a corn tortilla with cheese on last saturday.

forcing her to eat even when she throws up because it has been many days since she last ate and kept it down.   right now, she's eating and puking but will continue to force her to eat.  even with this method she still eats very little each day.  a typical day would be an energy drink, some doritos (maybe 1 cup), some pho noodles and that's it.  everything coming back up.   am afraid to let her stop eating completely.  has been sick for a year now and in that year only a handful of healthy meals.  the longest she's gone without puking is 4 days.  i have let her eat what she wants for the most part and she has had almost no meat or vegetables or wholesome food for the past year.  Her choice for most of the year was cheesits, instant mac and cheese, doritos, the healthiest item would be something like a hamburger at a restaurant which she never, ever kept down.  she must be very deficient in many nutrients at this point.

hasn't been to school for 2.5 weeks.  going in today to speak with them.

night time update:
ate at subway - about half a 6 inch sandwich - had caffeine free soda
good meeting at the school.  I love that school.

she took medical mj for the first time today.
