A couple of weeks ago, Ron's belly began swelling; he looked like he was about to 'deliver' any day. The bigger his belly, the more uncomfortable he became. I always think the worst, and I was concerned he had congestive heart failure.
Saturday afternoon we ended up in the ER at Piedmont Hospital (Atlanta); after 8 hours, he was admitted for a 'tap' of the fluid. The procedure is usually done by radiology, but since it was a weekend, the doctor did it 'bedside' (Sunday). The doctor drained 5 ltrs, and after 4 IV bags of albumin, Ron was discharged....YAY!
Last week Ron had an appointment with one of the transplant team surgeons; again, Ron was told, any time now.....how can they keep saying that - and nothing happens.
I am praying for Ron and I hope he gets his new liver soon. The draining sounds like it would be just awful. Hang in there.
