    She needs to stay hydrated to be successful. I know it can be difficutl at first. What she might want to try is to get some Mio or Dasani drops to add to the water. There is a chemical term called surface tension that is hard on new sleevers. By adding something to the water it changes the surface tension and makes it easier to swallow. I didnt find this out till I was already in hydration trouble. I was really close to getting the IV therapy when I discovered this. The only way I was able to drink fluids at first was warm. Another trick I have seen from some veteran sleevers is to set a kitchen timer for 15 minutes and drink an ounce every time it goes off. It reminds you to drink all day. Godspeed to your mom on her journey.
    LIFE is NOT a Spectator SPORT!!

    I used to drink hydralyte to keep hydrated, in early weeks, water down apple juice, and maybe sustagen .. Warmed, good luck
