Day 7 Germany Return Home

Saturday Day 6 was just another relax day. Kenneth and Reyna slept pretty much through the night. Grandma Jeannine and I stayed up late watching the affect/no affect of the tsunami hitting Hawaii. We are from Hawaii originally so we were interested.

Morning came at 5am to feed the family before heading to the airport. We were picked up at 7am. Everything went well through the checkpoints with mild discomfort from Kenneth.

Prior to take off Reyna started vomiting. The vomiting continued throughout the trip to Atlanta on about every half hour. She could not hold anything down. For the majority of the trip, she was vomiting stomach lining. When we arrived at Atlanta, she felt better. The vomiting started up again as she could not hold anything down. The trip to Denver was very good. She only vomited at landing. For sure, she was my hero and was a trooper.

Kenneth did well for the most part. He does have a nissen wrap so nothing came out. He had a few episodes but for the most part was a trooper. Both legs home he did well.

We all got home at 10pm. I did give them some vomiting meds at home. We did some hydration fluids and they pretty much slept though the night till 5am.

One thing to remember…. If no vomiting occurs after procedure, it does not mean they will not vomit for the flight home. ASK for extra vomex!! Vomex is there vomiting med. That way you have them on you for your return trip. Don’t tell Reyna, I may not live to tell more stories.

Overall all good. We talked about a theory. No pain, no gain. When you think about very little discomfort, you begin to question if the treatment worked or will work. Not that we wanted to invite any discomfort, but a questioning thought.

I got behind a day on posting but will catch up this morning.
