I would assume that they are able to handle it, or it would be a violation of the order for them to admit her there. No, 'cos, you see, the order only ordered that food and water be provided. The hospice can do that...
I am finding it difficult to keep the focus of my prayers positive.

The usual treatment for after-effects of dehydration is just IV fluids for several days. Unless some other complications were detected, the hospice wouldn't need to do anything more than keep the IV line running and the feeding tube fed. And I'm sure they're required to let a doctor examine her regularly to see if she needs to go back to a hospital -- just like she did for the rehydration and reinsertion of the feeding tube, which couldn't be handled at the hospice.
