Hi Again,

Thats good. We didn’t know how little our mom was drinking until I put a Brita 26oz water bottle, marking the bottle every six oz. She was not drinking even with prompting. We did not know how badly dehydrated she had become. Gently pull the skin up on the top of her hand. If it doesn’t bounce back and “tents” on her hand, she is dehydrated. If you find she isn’t drinking, it is suggested to put five or so oz cups in front of her before each meal and make sure she drinks them. Our mom was sent to er for dehydration. It can go unnoticed and at times they don’t want to drink. It can be an uphill battle but have to keep on them to drink and watch for signs of dehydration. It can sneak up on you. Best of luck.
