Day 5, Bump in the road

Craig surprised us today. Keeping him hydrated is a challenge and we expected he would need more IV fluids today even though he's drinking more than the suggested amounts of fluids.

At his daily check-up, he stood to be weighed and passed out. Luckily, his nurse today was a man about Craig's size and he was able to catch him and lowered him to the floor. His doctor decided he needed to be in the hospital for continuous IV fluids and safety.

Today and tomorrow should be the worst days for Craig. When I went back to see him after dinner, the nurses thought he had perked up some. He might be there for several days. Gail
