Thanks Christine

Yes the IV fluids seem to help a lot . Even though she has the feeding tube it still brings her down when she stops eating and drinking. She wasn't eating or drinking much . just a few sips and a couple of spoons at a time , but when that stops she seems to go down hill.
Hopefully the IV fluids will pick her up and the special wound care nurse can get this open wound under control also.

Thanks for your help
Heidi
