Goings On

Well it is about time we did an update. Mom is doing ok. For the first several days she pretty much slept all day. Then came the nausea, dizziness, and lack of appetite. She has a metal taste in her mouth most of the time. Bonnie has only really been able to drink water because nothing else tastes right. She can't have anything cold or frozen, even to the point of water that was in the fridge. Everything has to be room temperature or warmer. Certain smells just are too strong to handle, the ones we have found so far are bacon and seafood.

She is now having insomnia during the night because of the medicine, she gets to sleep off of a sleeping pill but when it wears off she is wide awake. She is reading a book at night to try to pass the time.

We have to be really careful with germs and bacteria so there are several precautions we are taking. We found out that fresh fruit or vegtables are probably not a good idea, due to the bacteria possiblities. We have a bottle of hand sanitizer at the front door, since hands are what usually spread the most germs. Also we are going into church once the opening song has started and leaving during the closing song so there is as little contact as possible, same thing goes with hand shaking, so please don't think we are being rude we are just trying to be very careful.

Any questions let me know I will answer them in a different post.
