Well it's been a productive day - so far. The PIC line was in good shape so nothing needed to be done to it. Our prayers were heard and they pulled some fluid from Tom's abdomen - about 7 liters according to Tom!
At this moment they are trying to give him some albumin but there is a problem with the tubing so it's taking a while to get that started. I really like the bulbs we have at home for delivering the IV meds, they should use them here. Anyway, once that runs, they will give him lasix. I think his day nurse said they were going to double up on the lasix.
This night nurse is not our favorite. She's kind of ditzy so I'm a little concerned that things will continue to move quickly through the night. If they don't I'm sure someone will hear about it from Tom. At least he has a really good tech. Please continue to pray that the meds will push this fluid out. Tom will hopefully feel the benefits of today's procedure in the next 24 hours.
Thanks for your continued support!
