morning sickness

This medication they're trying on Amy has one side effect that she's not loving. It seems that about 22 of 24 hours a day she has "morning sickness" that lasts and lasts. She doesn't even get to look forward to a baby at the end! Hopefully this will only last for a week or two, and it'll be a month or more before we know if it's going to help with her nerve injury pain. She's a trooper, though. About 3pm every afternoon she's ready to eat cheeseburgers or anything else that sounds good to her. And then by 5 she's taken her next dose and by 5:30 she's sick again. I remember that feeling...thinking if I could only throw up I'd feel better. But I never did, and I was queasy for weeks at a time with each pregnancy. It's awful! I know I complained, so it amazes me that she's trying to talk herself out of it and pressing on with life. That's one strong, determined girl we have!
