Fluids

M enjoying the blue sky while getting hydrated.

M had a scheduled blood draw on Monday.  Right before leaving to go he realized he didn't think he should be driving himself.  He texted a friend that was able to come pick him up and drop him off.  When he got to the office they could see after talking to him and taking his blood that he needed more fluids.  So they hooked him up and got him hydrated.  It took me a while to figure out that he was getting more done than the routine blood draw.  I felt like a bit of a failure at keeping him fueled and ready.  Apparently I can't listen to him when he says he doesn't want to eat!  So more calories and more fluids will help a lot.  We'll be ready for next time.
