Dehydration
Mom's calcium is back in the 8s and her hemoglobin is 9.2. While the calcium of 10.5 could have caused the vomiting ... they are thinking that it was most likely caused by dehydration. The funny thing is once you start vomiting then you don't feel like eating and drinking which makes it worse! So we are heading to Sonic when we get home to get Mom "crunchy" ice and we are gonna get her a sippy cup so that she can keep water with her all the time. I am also going to make some of the "magic" mineral broth. Mom does not like the taste but it is packed with nutrients so that even if she only takes a few spoonfuls ... she is at least getting some nutrition.
