jbug 17146 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 08-19-12, 12:25 PM (EST) "Hospital again " DH's potassium is critical low again. They admitted him on Friday afternoon for IV potassium infusion (we did this in March for 3 days also). He's had about 6 bags so far; at least 3 more to go. They take about 4 hours each. When it does get high enough to go home, he'll have to be going to an infusion center 3 times a week. If it gets stable, they will cut it to once a week. No end in sight. Asking for all the good thoughts you can spare and prayers for him and for me. Crusin w/ Tribe   Top

"RE: Hospital again " http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_can_you_convert_Meq_to_Mg fo{sic} potassium 60 mEq K = 60 millimoles 39.1 grams per mole ( 0.060moles) = 2.346 grams =2346 mg http://pharmacy.uams.edu/formulary/POTASSIUM%20THERAPY.asp Sounds like when using multiple bags 60 mEQ/Liter is the highest you go. Assuming each bag is a liter... 9*2346 = 21,114 mgs 1 banana is 422 mg http://www.healthalternatives2000.com/fruit-nutrition-chart.html So just over 50 bananas.   Top

Who knew that a little ole thing like not eating enough bananas could cause such a problem! We have even cleared his throat & esophagus & he can eat again! So, since today is his birthday, I'm taking him to Longhorn's Steakhouse. He's lost 41 lbs since March. Time to get some meat back on his bones! (& that can be code if you want it to be.). We'll be giving blood for a potassium check every few weeks now; never gonna let it get that low again.   Top
