Karen, I also have both you and Bentley in my prayers. I hope he continues to feel and eat well. Bentley's BUN is very high so I am sure the sub q fluids make him feel much better. I don't know how you feel about it, but its very easy to learn to administer fluids yourself at home and it only takes a few minutes. I'm pretty squeamish and couldn't imagine myself doing it, but it was only uncomfortable for me the first time or two. The fluids extended my little guy's life by an extra two years.
Let us know how Bentley is tomorrow.
