Day 64 Aaron’s mom
Today was just one of those all-around-nauseous days for Aaron that Natalie is “stinking tired of.” Most of Aaron’s stomach problems are from the very drugs that are protecting him from infection or Graft vs. Host disease. Please pray that Aaron’s tummy settles down so he can eat. Today he only had several spoonfuls of cereal and soup, and one single spoonful of ice cream. This is not the Aaron we all know and love!

Praying from new york. I’m off to Wisconsin to speak at a jr hi camp next week; probably out of the loop computer wise; but thankfully can (and will) continue praying…God is good, all the time.

Have you tried adding tabasco to all the food? Seriously though I would suggest “Sea Bands”. Sea Bands are these trippy little wrist bands that apply pressure to a pressure point in the wrist that help to reduce many types of nausea. I’m not in to holistic or alternative medicine because I’m way too much in to science, but my experience is that these things actually do some good in all the cases I have personal experience with. You can buy Sea Bands at any drug store for cheap and they are at least worth a try.
Whatever you decide to do, I’ll definitely keep hitting my knees in prayer.
God Bless you all!

I’ll sit down right now and say a whole rosary!! Vomitting feels neverending and chips away at one’s spirit. :(
p.s. have you tried Chamomile tea? Sucking on black lickorice? Also recommend unsweetened apple sauce, since it tastes the same going down as coming back up and is gentle on the throat.
