I don't think I can do this anymore!


I'm exhausted and the medication still leaves me with nausea. It definately isn't the miracle drug I hoped it would be. Plus a side effect is constipation :-( which I never have, but I do now. Imagine a bad stomach virus, with chills and all the works and that is what Hypermesis Gravidarium is like. Now imagine it lasting 12-14 weeks! I hope this baby stays safe because if anything happens I will not try again. This is it.

On top of that the medication is so expensive In order to make this quatity last 15 days I can only take 2 pills a day, and I want to take 3 and we don't even know how we will be able to afford another 15 day refill. We are talking 135.00 for 15 days at 2 pills a day. SO there will be 5, 15 day spands until morning sickness stops. That is $675.00. And we don't have the money. I am going to have to sell things. I'm looking around the house to see what I can sell to score more drugs! Hehehe sounds bad, but it's true. Well, I better get to bed before my last dose for the day wears off.

Good night and God Bless,
Dawn

BREAKING NEWS coming out of the Garan Household!

We're expecting baby #3 next June!

It was quite a shock to us, but we have been warming up to the idea. Morning sickness came on with full force the weekend I found out. I have Hyperemesis Gravidarium which is severe, even life threatening morning sickness and last night I starting taking Zofran a medication that is used to treat chemotherpy patients who experience nausea and vomiting. And it is wonderful! I don't feel like I am going to throw-up at any moment and my intense nausea is gone. I still get a little wave of nausea now and again, but I can actually eat now and I feel like myself again. All we have to do is hope that the medication doesn't injure the baby. It's a catch 22, becuase I just couldn't go on without it eventhough I know it might pose a risk to the baby. So, I will keep everyone posted on my progress. 6 weeks down only 34 to go!

Love and God Bless,
Dawn
