Guest guest Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 Thanks for updating us . From what I've been told with Jake, a bicarb under 10 is dangerous, so it's good that you are there and getting IVd. Have they suggested putting her on Bicitra or Polycitra? This will counteract the acidity. Might be worth asking. When this happened to Jake we were discharged on Bicitra. Wishing Langan and you a speedy stay. Barb Swoyer, Jake's mom Langan in the hospital = ( From what I can gather, the problem is that Langan's blood has become too acidic. Langan's bicarbs were apparently 9 at the ped Wednesday and 7 here yesterday, so they put her on an IV overnight (after 7 needle sticks. grrrr) and then this morning they were only back up to 9. Soooo we are still here. They are going to give her another bag on the IV and then check her levels at 3pm and let us know whether we're going home or staying. They all seem in agreement that they can get the levels up to where Cincy wants them (16) and we can give her something orally after that to keep it stable if necessary, but it is a SLOW process. , mom to Langan 21 months old and keto kid since 11/02, med free since 4/2/04 [ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
