Long Night....

Matthew's severe nausea has continued and peaked with him vomiting blood in the middle of the night. It was incredibly scary and sad. We now believe his issues over the past 24 hours have been the result of a negative reaction to one of his pain meds. The manufacturer of this pain med specifically says do not use with aspirin, Enalapril or diuretics because of side effects including the likeliness of stomach bleeding and ulcerations. Matthew is on all of these. I guess the disappointing thing is that all of the indications were there, but we kept giving him the pain med anyway. It was his nurse that finally (thankfully) made the connection and pulled the med last night. We will have lots of questions for the Doctors when they make their rounds this morning.
