Hi there- thank you for reaching out. My mom actually just got out of the hospital after a two day stay. She had 1 liter of fluid removed from her lung but then she developed a pneumothorax. Thankfully it resolved on its own and we did not have to have a chest tube. I have been trying to go on some walks to relax, but I need to be more consistent! Tomorrow is Monday so I am really going to work so I am really going to work on a new goal of walking daily! As far as my mom goes, it’s nice to be back home. She was in a lot of pain right after the procedure so that was pretty scary and stressful as we didn’t know what was going on right away. Thank you again for checking in.
