Maggie had a fairly good day yesterday-- only spitting up a couple of times. However, last night (or rather early this morning) around 3:00 am, Maggie awoke and had a good vomiting. We are both trying so hard to figure out what is causing this nausea and vomiting. Andy is beginning to think that maybe it is her acid reflux and once her medicine wears off, she vomits. We might try doubling her dose of Prevacid today to see how she responds. Either way, something just isn't right because Maggie's been off chemo since Tuesday and I wouldn't think that she would continue to be showing signs of a virus if that is in fact what it was.
We did have a chance to go outside and get some fresh air yesterday since the weather was a bit warmer (upper 40's). We bundled Maggie up and took her for a stroller ride around the block. She enjoyed it, especially when we encountered dogs in the neighborhood. She loved it so much that when we came in, she was not happy and insisted on going back out by pointing to the door. We will be very happy when warm weather comes again and we can get her outside. She loves the outdoors and when her counts are low, it at least gets us out of the house some.
Our next step in treatment is going back into the clinic on Monday to check Maggie's counts and possibly get chemo. Though we don't expect to get answers from Dr. French as to the reason for her vomiting, hopefully he'll be able to recommend something else so that these episodes might stop.
Thank you for your continued prayers for Maggie. They are greatly appreciated.

Glad you were able to get out a little bit. She's sounding very communicative and that has to be fun! I'm working on a project that you and she can do together and I can't wait until it's ready to share! As always...praying.

That's great that you got to go for a walk together! I love that she loves dogs. Can you imagine how she'd react to being at our place? Love it! I do hope the vomiting stops asap, and that the doubling the dose makes the difference. Here's to a night of everything staying down :) Love you all!
