So I just found out my grandma is heading to the hospital. She got gastro, but is deteriorating somehow. I think someone gave her electrolytes with a bunch of sugar in them, and she has T2D. Hopefully will be updated soon, because my dad looks terribly worried.
It's very easy for older people to suffer fluid imbalances, especially adding in the hot weather and illness. Some IV rehydration and she'll be a new woman.
