We got Will's blood test and echocardiogram results back yesterday. His heart looks great, but his blood potassium level is elevated... not HIGH... just elevated. And being elevated for a long time can cause organ damage. The elevated potassium could be due to one of two things: Will's blood pressure medication or his love affair with bananas.
Sooo... we're experimenting over the next two weeks. We've eliminated all things potassium-rich (bananas, sweet potatoes, etc.) from Will's diet, and he will have another blood test done in two weeks to see if it made a difference. If it didn't, then we will switch blood pressure medications, and try the blood test again.
Tonight Will got a lovely chicken noodle stage 2 baby food. He didn't like it... hence the Old Man Face. We realized how tough it is to find interesting baby food WITHOUT bananas, too... might be time to bite the bullet and start making more of our own concoctions. Watch out!
