Hospice was here today and got me all set up with being able to personally deliver intravenous medications. Hospice does not "do" anything. They train you. Because of her nausea we are now giving her steroids and one anti-nausea medication via IV push. It takes about 15 minutes to do it. There is a lot of sanitizing and careful prep involved. The benefit is she won't throw up these meds. The cost is my time and sleep. I also still have to try to get some meds down orally. It's not working too well today - so we may need to change over more to IV. Or suppository. She will not like that.....
And Mary Jane is at work too....
