Caryn has had a bunch of doctors looking at her bowels today! We've got some new ideas on the gas issue from some specialists, and hopefully it will get moving over the next couple days. More walking, more sitting, less morphine, more enemas, a new laying position and possibly some other things if it doesn't resolve. But still agreement that food will not help at all. Nothing by mouth.
She's had a couple of visits, and her mood has been up and down. The discomfort is kind of bad, and she's felt a little hopeless at points, but there's also been periods where she was resting comfortably and more alert, making little jokes, that kind of stuff.
She says the funniest thing that has happened was when Bari held out the salve for her to put on her lips, and Caryn fell asleep with her finger in the jar. Bari had to wake her up to finish.
I think the funniest thing was when she handed me a half-sucked luden's lozenge at 11AM and said she didn't want it anymore. I said "Where did that come from?" and she didn't know, but I found out later that the last time she was given one was when Bari gave her one around 6AM. 5 hours in the mouth!
