Hi
I have already posted something similar but no response really . My dad is in hospital with advanced Alzheimer's, extremely low weight sleeping most of the day/night eating and drinking very little. The doctor has taken blood from dad to see if he is dehydrated ?? Telling me that if he is he will be given a iv fluid drip ?? Surly this can't be comfort care, doctor advised they will only give dad enough fluid to bring his levels back up ?
Anyone with experience
