Today we are thankful for Zofran.
Many thanks to all of you for your prayers and well wishes and "Hope you feel better soon." I am happy to report that I am feeling much better...thanks to a magic pill. Remember two weeks ago when I threw up so much? We thought it was a stomach virus? Yeah it wasn't. I went back to "normal" morning sickness for a few days then last week I started waking up every day and throwing up every half hour until either the medicine worked or I went to sleep that night. So my doctor and I decided I'd just take it every day before I got out of bed. Oh I haven't thrown up all week and I've really felt pretty good (minus the regular pregnancy stuff- tiredness, weird food aversions and cravings, etc).
So today we are thankful that there is such a medicine like this that is safe for pregnancy.
Oh and when I went to get my prescription filled at Target, the prescription had on it the directions of
"Take 1 pill 30 minutes before chemo treatment, then another 8 hours later." When I picked it up, the poor pharmacists were like
"Have you taken this medicine before?"
I said "yeah"
they said "Well you know then to take it 30 minutes before your chemo treatment..."
At this point I realized what was going on and I interrupted them "No wait No I don't have cancer I just can't stop throwing up because I'm pregnant."
I felt so bad :(

Glad the pill is helping :)
Kelley, zofran was first used for nausea in chemo patient's and later found that is also helps morning sickness and other issues related to zofran. One thing we do if zofran doesn't work is home health and a reglan pump that you wear all the time and doesn't have the time for the next pill feeling. It seems to work well. So hopefully, you won't need anything else. Something to think about if it continues. Usually settles down in the second trimester. Speaking OB Nurse./Sheree (Annie's Mom) Oh, Congrats!
