HI There

Thanks so much for the advice. We have decided not to exceed 3 units at any one time. We will be meeting with my Dad's haemotologist on THursday and will discuss the option of a diuretic. In the interim we are going to try and manage his goals with his doctor as suggested so that he doesn't drop below 8 but rather to "top-up" from there.

Regards
