Just got off the phone with Dawn. She called to tell me that she was home & that all had gone well with the plueral infusion.
Doctor's removed 1500cc of fluid from her lungs! And they suspected that she may have had as much as 2000cc sometime back before they put her on the HCTZ diuretic.
She's hoping that they can keep her on that diuretic because it is doing the job but she needs to get her potassium levels checked next week & that will determine if she can stay on it or not! We pray that she can!
She sounded very well & said she was breathing much, much better, Thank God!
She thanks everyone for your thoughts & prayers & sends her love!
Yay, Dawn!!
