Cotton, our weather was very similar to yours. Our bad news timing wise was today my son was scheduled for the paracentesis appointment. We had waited 4 weeks for this appointment and he was way overdue. This is the drainage of the abdominal area that the damage liver is not able to process properly.
it was virtually monsoon with rain and heavy winds
when we left also knowledge trees in roads and road flooding
this it was a very first day we were going to be using the new wheelchair to get him from the sofa in his trailer to the front seat of my van,
challenging enough in nice weather with the sun, but pouring rain and Wind - ugh I called to verify the appointment was still on. oh yes, they said the doctor and staff is here. So I literally forced Jef to go. He’d been watching the news with all the weather scares and didn’t wanna go
a long drive there 45 minutes normally and then we had to allow another 45 we made it and he had the procedure done. He had 12.8 L of fluid removed from his abdominal area , he’ll have the same team every time he has it done.
” He had 12.8 L of fluid removed from his abdominal area .”
Oh my word, Dolly!
It’s a good thing you got him there.
I’m sorry you had to struggle with all that bad weather.
You’re a trooper. for sure.
I hope he is feeling some relief!
You’re also a terrific Mom!
12.8 L??!!!
Wow, he must feel better now with that gone!
I can’t believe you drove in that weather, either. You are gutsy!!
You are amazing, DollyCali.
Whoa Dolly....what a horrendous day for you and Jeff. My goodness. I’m so glad Jeff got relief from all of that extra fluid. It would be nice if he was so comfortable that you both get lots of extra sleep today!
