@devineone, I continue to think about you and your husband, and keep you in prayers. I know how uncomfortable he is with all that fluid. I hope that you soon learn something positive about the new treatment.
I don't want to burden you with questions at this point, however I am wondering if there is any talk of anything to relieve any of the fluid or discomfort? Or even any kind of inpatient PT that can be preformed while in bed?
It sounds like you have a dedicated group of doctors, and I always add our doctors and nurses and caregivers to my prayers.
Hugs, Rosemary
