(((Cheyanne))), first I want to tell you how very sorry I am for the loss of your friend. It's horrible to hear that she was so ill and felt that she was unable to get treatment.
You said her potassium level was very low. This is called hypokalemia and extremely low levels can lead to cardiac arrest. Hydrating her would help, but I'd be very interested to know what they did about her potassium deficit as rehydration alone doesn't replace lost potassium.
