Re: Blood in Urine

[Guest guest]

Hi, It is me again. We went to the hospital Thursday after I found

out that our labs had dropped even lower from Weds. He refused to

eat and drink. They put us on an IV with potassium and sodium.

His potassium was up the next morning but everything else was still low.

The Dr. was perky and said we could go home and he was stopping the IV.

We he still wasn't eating better nor, was he drinking. I said "no"!

I questioned the other low levels and told him if he went us home we would

still be in the same boat(sinking). He was visible frustrated with

me but continued his IV adding extra sodium. He ended up eating well

the rest of the day and drinking. For some reason he developed diarrhea

when we got fluids in him. They stopped the IV Friday night and we

were sent home Sat. morning even though he was refusing to eat again with

the IV out. We go back in for more labs Monday. Is there something

they should be checking besides the electrolytes? The Dr. said

his kidney and liver functions are fine. I just know something is

wrong. The only positive thing is no seizures. I am getting

no answers from the Dr. or Neuro( he isn't concerned).

My question- How long can my child live on 200 calories a day and 8

ounces of water? I obviously have to educate myself or I will go

crazy before Nick is 18. If anyone has had any similar difficulties

and have some advice I would appreciate it.

Well we also got our labs back from the diet and they aren't fine.

His

creatinine was low .4,

Gluclose 53, BUN 4, Calcium 8.8, Potassium 2.9)critical low) and

CO2

12.4.

No wonder he feels cruddy. Most of those levels indicate

a problem with

the kidneys, which we just had tested. We are going to get

retested to

make sure it wasn't the lab. Mean while I will have to add

bananas to

his diet He only gets 4 grams of carbs a day (1 per

meal) I may have

to find a supplement too. I found this sight that was helpful.

I may

print it off and take it in to the Dr.

His side effects are definitely showing low potassium.

Hopefully we can get this all fixed this week.
