Dad had a procedure at Penn Presbyterian on Wednesday to remove the fluid from his lungs. They took out a full liter of fluid! Now that he's not sharing his lungs with a small swimming pool, he's feeling much better. The procedure itself only took about 15 minutes. After recovering for an hour, he popped across the parking lot to the chemo infusion suite and received the treatment that was delayed from Monday. Oh, and ate lunch from the food truck, of course. :)
The doctors aren't sure what caused the fluid to accumulate, though they don't believe it is from the treatments or his heart. But they are going to be on the lookout for any signs that it is returning and if it does, they'll be ready to jump into action.
We'll be celebrating a joyous Easter with the family this weekend. We hope that you share our joy in the risen Lord. Thank you for your continued thoughts and prayers.
