Please drink Craig

Craig still hasn't eaten anything and is drinking only a little. My brother Dr. Craig told me to do the "tent" test on his skin. You pinch your skin on your arm and if it makes a little "tent" then you know you are dehydrated. Craig's arm is making a little tent so I've really been pushing him to drink every hour. I'm hoping to get the full 32 oz. mug full of water down him today. He did request a red popsicle so we've got those in the freezer when he wakes up enough to try one. His pain is intense when he moves so he prefers to lay or sit still. He's been kind of loopy on the drugs, telling me he sees bugs on the ceiling and on my forehead. We're just hoping some major damage has been done to the tumors...

  1. Suzy, thank you for doing so many updates. I for one really appreciate them and have been reading them every day. You are a great person to keep doing them so often.

    The bugs on the ceiling may be related to low blood pressure??

  2. It's great to see these frequent updates. Thanks for taking the time, Suz, to inform all of us so faithfully. We want to know what is happening with our dear Craigy.

    Perhaps you should wash your forehead more completely!

    Love you, Kathy
