I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps.

And if they are putting it all on what she weighs, then start demanding weekly blood tests to check her electrolytes. Say you want to know precisely what the levels have to be before they are willing to put her in the hospital to get a drip in her (at the VERY least). You are seeing her deterioriate and you KNOW her body can and will shut down. There is nothing wrong with taking preventative measures to make sure that it doesn't get to the point of her having a full on collapse.
