My wife is back in the Hospital again

[Jim]

 
Forgot to mention that my wife came home (finally) last Thursday, and is finally doing awesome. Whatever they failed to fix the last year and a half and 6 major visits to the hospital that each resulted in a 4 week stay then another 2 weeks rehab (each time) was finally taken care of this time.
 
Specifically, at first they drained 2 liters of fluid (water) from around her lungs and heart. Then through intravenous diuretics she lost an entire 50lbs of water from inside her body. Most of it was still around her lungs in pockets.

Before she couldn't even walk to the bathroom without needing to boost her oxygen to level 4. She couldn't talk on the phone without struggling for air. Now she goes most of the day without the oxygen and only puts at 1.5 when she does need it.  She's even back to doing her own laundry and cleaning around the house.
 
What a difference.

Now I'm looking forward to when she decides she no longers needs it.

Great news Jim.  I had been wondering but didn't like to bother you as you must have had so much on your hands.  It's an amazing recovery after all the time they spent figuring out what to do.  Good luck to both of you for a new, improved and happier life.  You deserve it.
