I went to bed just after midnight with a raging migraine. Finally getting ice packs for my temple and neck around 3 am. At 6:20 am Adler came in. He said he had to go to the bathroom. I had barely slept and got up because I know what happens. Soon enough he was nauseous and feeling faint. His feet propped up in front of him on the toilet seat and his back hurting. I grabbed the bowl and Happy Tummy essential oil. Slathered it on him and had him take deep breaths. Some time goes by. Soon enough the color draining from his face he says “Mom, I feel like I might faint”. I had him wipe quickly as I held onto him just in case, helped him get his underwear back on and helped him to my bed. I had him lay down and take deep breaths. Innnnnn and ouuuuutttt. He said he still felt nauseous so I got the bowl and laid with him. We talked for about 20 minutes and he wanted to wash his hands. So we did that and I helped him to his own bed after that. Got the heating pad all situated and made sure the bowl was nearby and I got him an Imodium and a bottle of water. Making sure he just sipped it as to not throw it up. I laid with him until he said he was ready to go back to sleep. We talked about all kinds of stuff as the sun peeked in under the shades. I kissed him and hugged him a lot and made my way back to my bed. My head still hurting and needing more rest myself I laid down and covered up. It’s called vasovagal syncope or vasovagal syndrome. Google it. That’s what happens to him sometimes with going to the bathroom in the middle of the night or early in the morning. It’s happened when he’s showered too. So. We’re taking it easy today. Both of us. I’m glad he’s finally eaten and that he feels better. My head isn’t as bad but still hurts. Goodness. Aren’t we something??!! The cancer life. It’s all part of it.
