This does not seem to me like a lot of water over 4 hours. His system should have been able to handle it. Something else went wrong here.

Maybe, maybe not. That was 96 ounces of water in 4 hours in an 11 year old when the recommended daily for an adult is 32 ounces.

For perspective, 96 ounces of water is 6 1/4 lbs of water...in an 11 year old over 4 hours.

REad recently that the recommended amount of water for hydration is to divide the body weight in half and use that figure for daily ounces.

200 divided by 2 = 100 ounces

Is that right? I don’t know. Standard for an adult has been 8 glasses per day???
