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 a trip to the emergency room in the case of dark urine.

That’s what I thought, too.

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.

Not true at all. It is not the ounces, which was about 96 ounces all together, it is the short span of time - just four hours. A daily amount for a grown man OVER 24 HOURS might be about 100 ounces. 96 ounces in just four hours, for an 11 year old, is like poisoning - the system cannot handle it.

He had dark urine, then perhaps something was already too far gone to handle it. I think they were trying to counter kidney problems, maybe wanted to avoid doctor. But sadly, should not have!
