I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother. My paternal grandmother is really important to me, too, and she's been having tons of health problems for the past three years. When I was back east visiting with her, she had had diarrhea (sp? can never spell that right) for three weeks. After much discussion, I got her to drink some Gatorade watered down with clear Pedialyte (she refuses to drink the Pedialyte, so it was a covert ingredient). I also made Crystal Light (one of her favorite drinks) with clear Pedialyte. And I made her a margarita mix with -- yep, clear Pedialyte. She was doing much better by the time I left, but I imagine it's only a matter of time before she's back in the hospital with something. I hate it. I worry about her dying because I know I'm going to miss her something fierce.
Anyway, I really am sorry to hear about your grandmother. :(
