Hereditary urinary problem. There you go. Wondering if it’s really water poisoning, or really because his compromised system couldn’t take it.
And the woman was stepmother, not mother. Father has a screwgie face.
Horrible all around.
“Wondering if it’s really water poisoning, or really because his compromised system couldn’t take it.”
Any 11 year old kids system cannot take an adult’s daily recommended level of water in just four hours.
The parents tried to “solve” an issue from a “hereditary” problem as if the kid was merely dehydrated - not taking enough water, and did so with a dose over four hours that might be normal for a man in a whole day.
Most likely the hereditary problem was liver related (too much bile) and not kidney, and not “solved” by drinking too much water. I am thinking the kid was wearing a diaper because the parents were always trying to make him drink too much water and the kid couldn’t hold it long enough to get out of bed at night. And, that likely never made his urine clear if it was a liver problem.
