back in for fluids and potassium this week

Dad was not feeling well at all over the weekend and lost a lot of fluids. We took him in on Tuesday and Wednesday for fluids and potassium infusions, along with a prescription for liquid potassium since those horse pills wouldn't stay down. Today they tested his blood again and potassium levels were coming up, so no infusion today. He is feeling much better now, though still not good. He has had some pain and trying to address it with the pain patch and other med's.

Hope the new potassium supplement keeps him feeling better. We go back on Monday for blood tests.

  1. We had hoped this two week period would have been more restfull. The liquid potassium seems like an easy replacement for horse pills.

    Thanks, Keep in touch. Angie and Ray
