Drink, Drink, Drink...
We have had so much trouble getting Zachary to drink fluids with all the pain and nausea he is experiencing. A nurse from St Francis called today to check on him and advised us to call the surgeon if he does not start forcing fluids. She said it sounded like he needed to be admited for IV fluids. We did everything...ice, jello, milkshakes, popsicles, Wendy's frosty, and nothing seemed to work. I even told him we would have to go back to the hospital if he did not start drinking. He did not seem to care! Finally, things turned around... He started playing with his fluids and syringes! He would suck up different color liquids into syringes and suck them out! YEAH! Who cares how he drinks it! Let's pray for a night of sleep and drinking!!!
