We are still in the hospital. Been a lot of tests and scans and things.
Gallbladder – There were no stones in it, and it does have some issues, but the issues are no different than the issues that were seen a year and a half ago by the other GI doctor, so they’ve have backed away from doing anything with the gallbladder for now.
Fluid around lungs – they decided to drain the right lung for now as it was much worse. They did that today and took 850ml out of her right side (3.5 cups, or 29fl ounces, or 2.5 cans of pop) she immediately began crying tears of joy at being able to breathe again, so that was great. They are going to test the fluid to see if they can tell what may have caused it.
She was finally able to eat last night (after a day and a half of no eating/drinking allowed), so that was a big win and helped her spirits a lot.
We were hoping to (and had gotten confirmation) to go home today, but then the doctor said after the draining of the lung they would like to keep her here and do another x-ray tomorrow to see what things look like, so only one more night here hopefully.
Thank you all for your prayers, please pray that this fluid thing is not become a regular thing, and just big praises for how flexible both of our schedules and jobs are to allow us to change things up and be here together.
Love you all.
