In response to:

Hi have you tried spoon feeding her liquids? I don't mean force but if she allows you to feed her will she let you spoon feed her broths, jello, gatorada and slip some water in there? I hope you find a way. Does she have any at home medical care maybe they just flat need to use an IV. Do you know her wishes, does she want her life supported with force if necessary to keep her alive. If you know her wishes it will help you make a decision on IV fluids. I am sorry I hope this helps some. Connie
