Another week down
Amy has been having quite the issue lately with thick mucus in her throat and you can imagine what it does to her heightened nausea. So, we asked her doctor about a drug called scopolamine. This drug is usually prescribed for motion sickness, but is frequently used to ‘dry’ people up as well and it’s dispensed as a trans-dermal patch. I looks much like a small round band aide and you place it behind your ear. It worked quite well, but it also made her very drowsy and we just removed her from another medication after it made her drowsy and kept her in bed. So, she’s no longer taking that.
Just a short post tonight, it’s been a long tiring week for me and for the first time in three weeks, I’ll be able to sleep in…God bless.

Hi Vince and Amy,
Did any of your doctors suggest Saltropine for Amy's mucus issues? It's a tablet... My nephew takes it to dry up his drooling (caused by cerebral palsy). As far as I know it doesn't cause any drowsiness. I don't know if it would be a good fit for Amy along w/ her other medications, but I just thought I'd mention it.
I check the web site daily to see how your family is doing. Glad to hear Amy's positive thoughts during the dog walk. God Bless!
