You of coarse were right . Many years ago I had a similar problem with my father in law . We were called by my mother -in law saying he had been very sick for a week and she could not get him to go to the DR. When we got there his skin color was Grey and he was dehydrated and more . My husband started to do the child pleading thing ---you need to go to the hospital etc. I said loudly NO you are going to the Hospital and if you don't come with us I am calling an ambulance . He came with us and spent the next 2 months in hospital with diabetis and lung cancer and got to live another year and meet 1 more grand child born into the world. Love, Torn
