Hi Erica

I just read up on this and when they are on fluids for a long period of time and come home they do not drink a whole lot as dexter had severe pancreatitis and i was so nervous as he did not drink a lot of water when he came home - keep an i on him though. Renal failure ? did he eat any grapes as that causes that ?

Did they do the CPLI test to rule out pancreatitis as that is the true test to rule that out as dexter had the vomitting not diarhea and he went back to the hospital 3 times - he would be home for 5 days and then relapse.. Sometimes they cannot see pancreatitis on ultrasounds unless it is super inflamed.

I hope bobby is home free but dexter could not be released from hospital until eating and drinking for two days so this concerns me him not eating more so than the drinking as those fluids fill them up .
