Day 2 is the second half day. You start a little lower than where you left off and begin again to get as high as you can, hopefully another 10-12 doses.
Dose 1: 4 ml- no reaction
Dose 2: 4 ml- no reaction
Dose 3: 6 ml- lip began to swell (Buddy felt it and I saw it, so we washed it with soap) and it didn't swell any more so Dr and Nurses could barely tell. Buddy wants to keep going
Dose 4: 6 ml- Nurses suggest wiping mouth after swish and swallow, we decide that's not enough and use a wipe or wash with soap
Dose 5: 4 ml of stronger dose. Wash mouth
Dose 6: 4 ml. Wash mouth every time now
Dose 7: 6 ml
Dose 8: 6 ml
Dose 9: 10 ml
Dose 10: 10 ml- cheeks getting rosy
Dose 11: 2 ml of stronger dose (Solution B). Tummy aches (he says he's full and thinks pushing on stomach that he's full) Nurses ask if he wants to finish that level and he says yes
Dose 12: 2 ml- 12 minutes after dose complains of tingly ear (it's red, too) Nurses offer to do one more level (extra to help make up from yesterday) and Buddy chooses to
Dose 13: 4 ml
Dose 14: 4 ml- Still reddish cheeks and "full" tummy but no other reactions. Complete Day 2 with only 1 level behind goal!
Home dose will be 2 ml of Solution B tonight (since he's had so much) and back to 4 ml tomorrow!
Drive home: tummy still hurts. Feels better and snacks a little bit. Gets frog in throat and drinks some more. At home has to use the bathroom a couple times and that helps a little bit. At 5:30 tummy really hurts (almost in tears) and says he can't do it any more. Call office and they tell him to do Zantac and skip evening dose, they also want him to do his morning dose in office in the morning so he can be observed for an hour there. By 6pm he was snacking on dinner and perked up. His appetite slowly returned and he ate more. Stomach pain leaves and doesn't return, sleeps well and no other reactions
Hang in there, Buddy! You are one brave guy and we are proud of you! xoxox
