Acid Reflux

Ma has been complaining of acid reflux for a week now. She's also bloated. Three days ago she weighed 123 lbs. Today she weighed 159! The extra weight is probably due to fluid in her abdomen. That's like 4 lbs. of water. She's having a CT scan done on Friday and will have the fluid drained then. Dr. Irwin doesn't know if the ascites is due to her cancer or her liver. Her PET scans show spots on her liver that the radiologists interpret as cirrhosis.
