Ron's had some fluid retention in his belly (again); we were just in the hospital a few weeks ago having his belly 'tapped' - and now the fluid is back with a vengence. He went from 7 months pregnant - to 9 months in less than a week. Ron went back to see one of the liver team doctors today - Dr. S said it's too dangerous to perform another tap so soon. They upped Ron's medication (diuretics) and hopefully he'll 'thin' out a bit.
The doctor wants to see Ron again Monday, and he was told it's probably time to stop driving. I'm going with Ron Monday with a ton of questions for the doctor - it's time to really find out.
Ron is still #1 on the Piedmont liver transplant list (A blood type group) - hopefully, we'll get a call before he has to give up driving.
