After having 2 sips of water in 22 hours, I resorted to desperation and veiled threats. Told him that if he didn’t drink the apple juice or water, off we go to the hospital. Actually, I was really worried. (I kept waking him and he refused – slept the 22 hours)

Talked to Sis who said gotta get him drinking.

So, no apple juice in the house! This in a house with a pantry which could be called the Mini Mart. Phoned my (tomato) neighbor and she brought 2 bottles of apple juice and powder for smoothies to get some nutrition into him. (They had just shopped Cost*o)

S&R shopped for us this morn and brought our groceries out. Couldn’t leave him.

Anyway, after about 8 oz. water, 8 oz. apple juice and a big hug, he announced he’d like his chicken noodle soup now. Yeah, way to recover! As he ate his soup, told him I had a roast beef for sandwiches. He ate one!

Now if we could fix our body thermometers – he’s warm and I’m wearing a set of fleece – and it’s only end of August. It’s going to be a long, long (john) winter:) Temp in our house is 23 or about 76.
