He was put on an IV immediately for hydration -- they gave him 2000 ml that day. Then we returned for three more days for hydration. That was a lesson learned the hard way. I totally see why Christine stresses the importance of hydration with each new member of the forum. Has your husband got a PEG tube, can he get one? That will help a lot with the hydration and getting enough calories in every day.
