So, you have her in an ICU. Good. Don't bother her too much. It can take a long time for them to come back from severe dehydration, if at all. It's not like us. Keep her in a warm spot like the top of the fridge. When you shower take the container in the humid steamy bathroom for extra humidity. You said that you tried to give her water right, is that what I read? If you have an eye dropper or the like you can gently put her on her back and place a single drop of water on her mouth parts. I have seen this save Ts. It will take her a long time to drink that one drop. BUt if she takes it offer her another and another. Do this a few times a day as long as she takes the water. Good luck friend!</blockquote>
