It's amazing, the sun is out and my husband's back in his t-shirt. He's outside, and we've been up about an hour and a half. I just finished eating, and George seems to be moving around a bit, too. It's good to see.
He actually got up before I did, and got himself out of bed. I disarmed our home from my phone, and he got himself outside and front door closed before I got there with his soda. Yes, I let him have his Pepsi first thing in the morning, and at night before he has his milk for the night. During the day he gets two glasses of ice water, which is about 26 ounces. I still flush his tube daily, which is closer to 50 ounces of liquid/day. I have stop being scared of over-doing it, and trust the process.
He's been chronically dehydraded for a long time, it's not going to improve overnight.

@LadyDuck I have to give him credit for that at least.

We were just out, and I was sweating. George was surprised when I told him it was 77.

@RasmaSandra I don't blame you on that one. We sleep with a fan by my side of the bed, and it's a game changer. I don't wake up in sweats anymore.

@kaylachan I kept a fan blowing over my bed but had to turn it off last night and the apartment is much cooler now on its own, At least a relief,

Sounds like things are going good & you have a routine going
in the right direction for him, that's always a good sign.

It sounds like your husband, and I drink about the same. I have a Dr.Pepper or Pepsi first thing instead of coffee and I like to have an ice-cold glass of milk in the evening.
