As I mentioned the previous night, Ma's fluid output wasn't as bad as last week's. However, that changed overnight. In the 12-hour period from 8pm-8am, 1100 ml of fluid was drained from her. She must have put out 2L yesterday.
Today she will have a Pleurx catheter installed in her so that she can go home. A nurse or PA (physician's assistant) will teach us how to drain the catheter. At the rate she's going, we may have to drain it twice a day. No official word yet on when she can go home, but maybe in a day or two.
