He got 2 liters yesterday and today and has been good using his feeding tube for additional liquids and can't seem to stay hydrated. He was in the ER today for the IV and they did a chest x-ray, urine sample and blood tests and everything came back ok except for the dehydration. He has has 4 of his 7 chemo treatments and 19 of his 35 rad treatments and is taking in 4-6 cans of nurishment in his PEG tube or drinking them. Has anyone else experienced this much dehydration even with IV fluids on so many days?
