Over One Liter of Fluid

Chemo #3 Day 21

Pa drained Ma's lung just once yesterday. He got 950ml. The bottle holds 1000ml. Today he got 700 in the morning and 600 in the evening. That's 1300ml in just one day.

Tomorrow Ma is going to the doctor to have her Pleurx catheter changed. Apparently it's supposed to be changed every month or so. It's been closer to two months for her.

Ma's appetite has been pretty good. She's been wanting some balut though, so Pa got her a dozen or so the other day. She had two visitors today who brought fresh vegetables from their garden. Another friend dropped off some arroz caldo for her.

I forgot to mention that Ate Eva, Raymond and their guest (Raymond's cousin, I think) came to visit on Sunday. They brought lots of Filipino goodies to eat.
