Tracey had a really bad nausea night. She has not gotten a break for the nausea for about a week. the new meds don't seem to be helping. I don't know what the next step will be. Tracey has not yet signed her consent for the PET or MRI scans the dr. Garon ordered. She told me she would today if she is feeling less nauseous.

I do know that the this medical unit at UCLA sucks. The nurses never answer the phone, after notification of an issue it takes at least 20 minutes and sometimes up to 2 hours for them to get to the room. Nobody is ever at the desk. I think its a management issue because its not one or two nurses. The entire nursing and care partner staff have a very "I'll get to you when I feel like it" attitude. they want noting to do with patient care and everything to do with doing the least amount of work. The The doctors are good but you only see them 5 minutes a day and they have no control over the nurses. Sorry just had enough of this!

On to Bella - Bella is doing great she finished her first bottle last night. She has been working on it for 2 days and the best she was able to do before falling asleep was 21cc. Last night she did her all 35cc. The faster she does that every feeding the faster she goes home. Bella Xray came back fine, no issues. We are still waiting for the MRI.
