Thanks very much. Bill had a flare up of congestive heart failure and we
increased some medication. The Dr. came today and found the condition to
be much improved, and hospitalization will not be necessary. We're
breathing a deep sigh of relief here.

What medication is he taking for CHF?

Double up on the lasix and making sure his potassium level is ok.
Gave 120 mg one day, but usually 80. Symptoms left and now back to 40.
