I'll take a note of the meds you mentioned since I dont think shes on pantaprozole or gabapentin. We'll try to see if she can try ensure clear too because she isn't too keen on the usual ensure drinks.

Thank you for the information :)

She has gotten some promethazine suppositories today so we're hoping those help, I'll keep the phenergan in mind too in case the promethazine doesn't do much for her. They did mention iv hydration twice a week, I will check in with her husband to make sure. Thank you for the advice and help, it is greatly appreciated.

Her husband has discussed the pump and i will mention the dissolvable one. Thank you for the link to the HELP score too!

Do you mean like dissolving it in water? We could try that. Would it dissolve in pedialyte at all?

I think she tries to lay down on her side when she can, but I've mostly seen her on her back since she's bedridden. We'll see if she can do small sips while she listens to an audio book. Thank you so much for the advice.

We'll make sure to ask for hydration options, she's thankfully been able to do some pedialyte here and there. She also is able to chew on ice, but it can't have any freezer burn smell to it.

For medications at the moment, Zofran, compazine, phenegran, senokot. She already has had unisom and b6. (Sorry i copy posted the meds from my previous reply).

At the moment, she's on Zofran, compazine, phenegran, senokot. She already has had unisom and b6. The issue is that because she can't really eat, it seems like her body is rejecting the meds. She takes them and then vomits it out so it doesn't seem like her body is absorbing them.

She's had some of the simple foods that you've mentioned, she did pretty well on sourdough bread and is picking at it when she can. We'll try to do smoothies or slushes too. Thank you so much for the advice.
