Mama had some fluid which her body had collected, not in her lung. Dr. Jones says this happens in 20 to 30 per cent, and his PA says sometimes the body collects fluid to flush out bits of impurities from surgery. Maybe your heart can't keep up with this, and needs help. The first was done last night, and again this am, each time about a liter was taken out. they locate it with ultrasound, freeze a spot and go in with a needle. Big needle. Her left arm is a bit swollen but the PA came in and checked it and since it is not hot nor solid, but soft, feels this is due to bruising and all of the needles but they will watch it. For now she thinks its ok.
Mama said yesterday it was a relief and she could breath much better, today she is again eating pretty well-small amounts but good variety-and she says her back does not hurt, and she is taking absolutely nothing for any pain. -------
Is this our Third Blessing or our fourth or fifth???
I am not real sure that she is just not a lot tougher than I am, and we had a nice chat today and she reminded me that when she was 12 months old, she weighed 11 pounds, and probibly had been born with a bad valve at a time when there was nothing to do but pray.
She told me that at one time, Dr. Koulter had her take digitalas, and he taught her to do it herself as her mama was so busy. One drop in her little glass of water, then 2, and so on. What a gal!
So to prove that I am not fibbing, I am enclosing mom's picture, she says her hair is a mess. I got a smile by saying"pretend you're going home"
Now will that be Blessing number 5 or six??????//
By the way, if we look confused, remember that Mama has been in 7 different hospital rooms, and we are not counting the one where they took her and her things down and said'oops, this room is for someone else!
I have to run now, before they move her again!
Sharon, Jim too
