Sheehan Treated for Dehydration in Texas
2006-08-14
Anti-war demonstrator Cindy Sheehan was hospitalized Friday evening for dehydration and exhaustion after fasting for more than a month and protesting earlier this week in 100-degree weather, friends and relatives said. Sheehan was listed in stable condition at Providence Health Center in Waco. Brenda Mauk, a nursing supervisor, declined to release additional information.

Sheehan, 49, was hospitalized after friends picked her up Friday afternoon at the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, where she arrived after spending several days in Seattle at the Veterans for Peace convention, said friend Tiffany Burns.

Sheehan, who has been on a Jamba Juice and Smoothie liquid diet as part of the nationwide "Troops Home Fast" hunger strike, had been treated and released from a Seattle emergency room Thursday night. On doctors orders, she ate for the first time in about 37 days, Burns said.
And her first solid food is hospital fare!
Sheehan also underwent additional tests for uterine bleeding, her sister Dede Miller said.
Hmmm. Looks like BDS is'nt doing her health much good.
Sheehan was to spend Friday night in the Waco hospital but planned to attend some war protest activities Saturday at the 5-acre lot she bought last month in Crawford, President Bush's adopted hometown, about 20 miles from Waco. "She's in good spirits, but she's sad she can't be at Camp Casey," Burns told The Associated Press.
I call bullshit. She conveniently checks into the hospital for 'dehydration' after chugging every smoothie in sight? She's ordered to eat solid food? Next is a press release telling us how she's sorry but she's under "doctor's orders" to pig out at the Burger King.

#2  Which is why It's kinda cool that she's here. BTW, it was 101 yesterday, with a forecasted high today of the same. It's been at or near 100 degrees for a couple of months now. Enjoy Cin, and welcome to Texas. Nuttin' but love for ya.
