He said the doctor wasn't in yet but was expected any minute, that was 25 minutes ago. She is in such a fragile state and at 1 1/2 lbs has no reserve. If only I could get her to eat but I read that they are so nauseous from the kidney problems and that's one reason they don't eat. I am sorry to ramble but just being on YT is what is keeping me going right now.
Patti,

Should you decide to continue treatment, they can put her on an IV to feed her, and also give her med to combat the nausea. We did that with Tiffany, and it did help. She is losing weight very quickly.

Praying the specialist will be able to help you in your decision. I know, it's not an easy one, I've been there.

Hugs,
Sheila
