I have a friend whose dad is up in age. The friend got the call saying "come home quick dad is in bad shape." So friend and family took off across 2 states to see what was going on. When friend got there they said dad wasn't long for life. Dad stayed in the hospital for 2 days, and got a diagnoses of lupus. The family believes this diagnosis came because, for about 2 weeks before going into the hospital he kinda' wobbled around and wasn't steady on his feet. Anyway, for 3 more days they watched dad linger and continued to ask the docs what can be done to help him...Finally, one of his tests came back that said his potassium level was way to low. They corrected the potassium level and within 4 hrs he was up walking around in the hospital, no wobbling, went home the next morning. The afternoon of checking out of the hospital he cut his 2 acres of grass...
