Hello Christine, 

As Jenny3109 rightly mentioned, our nurses will be back online on Monday so they won't be able to respond to you over the weekend. You are also welcome to give them a call first thing on Monday - you can call their free helpline on 0808 800 4040 and it is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. 

Poor Joel I am sorry to hear he has been experiencing these night sweats. As he is in hospital at the moment, even if it is the weekend he should be able to get medical attention - try and talk to one of the nurses in hospital looking after him and see whether you can get to see a doctor even if it is out of hours. Mention your concerns about the night sweats and the fact he has stopped drinking water at night despite being thirsty. This is something they need to be made aware of at the hospital. I would also perhaps try and ring 111 and explain the situation and see what they would suggest is the best course of action in your case. 

I hope that Joel recovers well and quickly. It must be an anxious time for you and I hope that you manage to talk to some of the medical staff at the hospital as soon as you can. It's good he is in hospital though and being looked after and monitored and I hope that you find out more soon and his recovery from this big operation goes well.

Best wishes,
