Sunday

Evening of March 16th

Clayton wasn't feeling well.  He decided to go shower to help him feel better. Mom checked on him to see if he was ok.  She thought that he might need some help.  He had really been pushing himself for the past few weeks to be as active as possible.  This left him really tired at night.  He said that he had finished showering and was going to get dressed in a minute.  Clayton often spends a lot of time laying on the hard tile floor with the heater on in the bathroom.  The heat that the tile absorbs and its hard surface helps his back.  So, it was not unusual for the family to go to bed with Clayton sleeping in the bathroom.  Earlier in the day, he had said that he didn't feel well.  He said that he was really thirsty and that he had probably drank too much.  Dialysis in the morning would help him.
