Today was our pilgrimage to Antigonish and St. Martha's hospital. We had a pentamadene inhilation for Michellie and a whopping huge amount of ventolin to go with it. This trip was a one day excursion - first time ever! The drugs did bring a few hives out for good measure, but otherwise this treatment was quick and relatively painless. The ventolin was in a huge dose, so Michellie shook and spaced out for a few hours, but she has recovered from that. For those that take Ventolin, she had the equivalent of 8 puffs in 2 hours - usually it is 4 in 4 hours. And for me, I only took it as a last resort, and 2 puffs were enough for me. Anyway, we shopped at the Health Food Store on the way home and the rest was pretty uneventful! I am so happy that I can finally write that. We are relaxing for the rest of the afternoon, and then contemplating how to get some good old vegetables into her and get past the craving for some down home junk food! Those cravings just never die!
A few more of Michellie's eye lashes have fallen out, so these are a little scarce now, but the eye brows are still pretty much there, and the little tuffs of stubble are still present on her head. The skin rash is down to a minimum and her body seems to like the arnica massage oil on the driest spots best. We are thinking of putting on the belly dance skirts and doing a little goofing around for some of her cardio today. We are glad we can remember which box these got packed in!
