1. This morning, they withdrew 2 liters of fluid from around my mother's lungs. TWO LITERS!!! You know, spectralbovine had said "a couple of liters of fluid" when he commented to me about the procedure, and I thought he was being hyperbolic, but no. Now she's at the cardiologist's, and hopefully they can figure out how to prevent this from happening again ( Read more... )

Oooh, your mother has my sympathy. ::winces:: When I was pregnant with Yael, they pulled about 2 liters of fluid out of my abdomen about every other day for two weeks and it was an incredibly uncomfortable feeling. Ugh. I hope she doesn't have to do it again.

Jesus, that is a lot of fluid!

They think this was a one-time thing, as she's got no edema anywhere else, and the lung in functioning properly now, so hopefully this is it!

that's... a lot of fluid. O.O i hope your mom's better now, tho, and it doesn't happen again.

Sometimes it's even 3 or 4!

I luuuuurve Bruce Wayne: Murderer?/Fugitive and have been wanting to reread them, so I'm glad you loved them too.

That's a crazy amount of fluid to be carrying around in your chest!

I really loved how everybody pulled together to work the case even though Bruce was being all, "I HAVE NO NEED OF YOU! I AM BATMAN! MY PARENTS ARE DEAD!"

I hope your mom is ok. That sounds like scary business.

musesfool March 14 2011, 20:28:04 UTC

Thanks! They think this should take care of it and she shouldn't have this trouble again.

TWO LITERS! Wow. I hope they figure out how to make that a one-time deal!

musesfool March 14 2011, 20:28:44 UTC

I KNOW, RIGHT?

According to the doctor, since she doesn't have edema anywhere else, this should be a one-time thing. I really hope so.
