Hi Ginger: His GFR had dropped over a long period of time to 9. He had been very fatigued but now became nauseous for several days. He had two medical offices tell him to go to ER and he agreed. Then when he hung up the phone he said we could go tomorrow. My reply? Absolutely not. They initially put a port in near his collarbone and started dialysis the next day. They put a chest tube in before he left the hospital and set us up with DaVita. I actually feel somewhat relieved that we can now face this head on and he feels better. I know he’ll remain non-compliant - that won’t change. When he got back from DaVita yesterday, he said he could continue drinking 128 oz of fluids. I called the center today and they told me no more than 60 and they’ll discuss it further with dietitian😕

Thank you, Ginger. That was good information from the Cleveland clinic. The thing we’ve enjoyed most about using monk fruit is making fruit pies. On another topic we recently bought sugar-free brown sugar!
