Carefully Increasing Potassium
Dr. Fan had given me the okay to try increasing the amount of potassium that Nick gets in a day up to 2,250 mg – 2,500 mg one week before his next blood draw. Today is the day. Part of the food that I’m giving him will be celery and a little bit of dried parsley. They’re both diuretics. Nick doesn’t pee that often, which may cause him to not get rid of potassium like he should. Thought it would be worth a try. Celery and parsley are surprisingly high in potassium as well.
