Still not eating
It's now been about ten days since Mina Brigitta has had much to eat. It's beginning to get a bit worrisome. The nutritionist finally showed her face today -- didn't offer much, though. I'm really hoping our girl will start eating again as soon as she feels better from the chemo. She was interested in feeding me today, but didn't want to eat anything herself. No wonder, since she vomited again at about 11:30 tonight. In other respects, she's very much herself again, so I'm hoping tomorrow will be the day she starts eating again.

Renee, they have not yet begun any supplementation. I heard from a nurse today that it sometimes takes 4-5 days to recover appetites after receiving mitoxantrone. That would be Thursday or Friday, which is the day the docs have set to probably intervene if she doesn't start eating. She did eat some Cheerios and crackers tonight, which was her first solid food since probably last Thursday.
Thanks to everyone else for your postings. It's really nice to read them every day. Way to go Kendra!
