While there, he receives IV-diuretics to help relieve the fluid build up throughout his body. At one point, the fluid build up was causing excessive coughing, which resulted in Ken breaking a rib with the force of the cough. The other treatment he receives while at UNC is infusions of albumin, which helps keep his fluid from leaking into his tissues. This process takes about two hours from start to finish. We are so thankful for these treatments though, as they greatly increase Ken\u2019s quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"907\" src=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforteamken\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6342\/2024\/07\/IMG_1563-1024x907.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-93\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforteamken\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6342\/2024\/07\/IMG_1563-1024x907.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforteamken\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6342\/2024\/07\/IMG_1563-300x266.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforteamken\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6342\/2024\/07\/IMG_1563-768x680.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforteamken\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6342\/2024\/07\/IMG_1563-1536x1361.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cota.org\/cotaforteamken\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6342\/2024\/07\/IMG_1563.jpeg 1753w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ken\u2019s weekly visits to UNC \u2013 Chapel Hill continue.
