shaky

My husband and I are planning on going to Italy from April 24-May 4.  My son was in town recently and let it drop to my brother about the trip.  Since my brother has exhibited a tendency to get sick when I am on vacation, I really don't like to let him know until right before so he doesn't get all stressed out.

Oh well, what is done is done.  Meanwhile, I took him out to breakfast today and his balance was off.  I stupidly let him drink 3 cups of coffee, and then realized that his balance might be off because he is dehydrated.

I mentioned to him that he looked a little shaky and that I thought he might be dehydrated.  He protested when I took him back to the nursing home when I said that I wanted to talk to the nurse about it.  While I was looking for her, he was in his room with the door closed.  I never did find the nurse, but he told me he had just drunk two glasses of water.  I never know if I can trust him about this.  It sounded real though.  I did find a CNT and asked her to tell the nurse.  She said she would have it put in his chart.

As soon as I finish writing this blog, I am going to call the nurses station and make sure they know.
