Karen, this is such a difficult time. Most people do sleep through this part post treatment and it is very easy to get dehydrated...especially if he is not getting enough fluids AND throwing up.

I was able to get a visiting nurse through our insurance company that came and gave Dan hydration for a week after treatment. I wonder if you could get the same and they could give him hydration and nutrition if he has the PEG.

When was he last seen by one of his doctors. Is there a concern that he might be dehydrated? Is he losing weight?
