Yes, I've been warned by you guys about weekends and evenings, that why I wanted him to get the PEG tube (that he didn't get). Dryness doesn't seem to be the problem because he's spitting constantly.

He managed to get down a small amount of water, ginger ale and 1 of the Resource milkshake things yesterday (couldn't update because of the server problem).

Today he's not managed anything and it's almost 4.30pm although he's been asleep most of the day with the morphine.
