Subject: RE: Update on Terry To: " Cirrhosis Support Group " <livercirrhosissupport > Date: Wednesday, January 7, 2009, 1:23 PM Hi everyone! Just wanted to let you all know that we are doing okay. Terry was brought into the hospital yesterday and before even taking him to his room, they took him to the interventional radition dept. for his paracentesis. The removed nearly 3 gallons of fluid from his abdominal cavity. He is so much more comfortable now and can breathe so much more easily. I don't know for sure what the plans are from here. I haven't spoken to the doctor as yet today. I think they may be going to be a colonoscopy because his BMs have been very dark and grainy and he is having pain in his lowe abdomen. Also, they are giving him lactulose every 2 hours because his ammonia levels were so high. He hasn't been able to take his meds at home for some time because he couldn't stand to put anything in his tummy. Is it any wonder?! He is sleeping at present and has been since the wee hours of the morning. I so much appreciate all your prayers and support. I believe he is weaker than even he was completely aware of. So, I'm just letting him rest. The staff have petty much been doing the same. I will update again tomorrow if I have the opportunity. Please continue to pray for us. I have my little office set up her and am just going about my business! Internet connectivty at the hospital is such a great blessing! I am praying for each of you and asking the Lord to bless you today. Hugs........ ... Diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Hi Diane, I'm so glad he had the paracentesis. I know he feels so much better now. What a relief! I had 7 litres drained the first time I had one. How many gallons would that be? I don't know the conversion, but it is such a relief. Internet connection is great in the hospital. Many people were surprised when I'd email them very soon after my transplant because I had my laptop with me. I will be praying for the both of you. Take care. Penny > > Hi everyone!

Life is not measured by the breaths we take,but by the moments that take our breath away.
