That

sometimes see her breathing, or her pulse through her fontanels. When
someone lists it as a sign of dehydration though they really mean
sunken.
Think sunken cheeks on prisoners of war pictures you've seen. Not that
dramatic, but nearly.

Here's a picture - not a great one, but it gives the idea.

Thanks for posting that Lara. I tried to find one but didn't have any luck
before a munchkin needed me.
