Has been in ER 4 times in last 2 months. Took him to Cleveland Clinic on Monday and they omitted him

Hemoglobin was 6 got blood and had steadied at 8

Creatine and Potassioum are not stabilizing even after a number of bags.

A yeast fungal went into sepsis

And a UTI that is not getting better. First time I am very concerned. Went from 230-180 in weight.

Read my very first post here - - we had a similar experience in April, right after my husband was diagnosed. They were giving him potassium riders every half hour. He had THREE IV lines in at one point and four transfusions. He also lost 50 lbs in two weeks.

I recount this to tell you that he is back at work now and feeling OK. I hope and pray they can stay on top of your dad's electrolytes and keep him stable until his body responds to the meds.
