| some relief | posted by sophie @ 11/21/2005 1:55pm |

i'm getting pretty good at pronouncing paracentesis. dea had another paracentesis today, draining another liter of fluid. it was pretty painless this time, and he is finally feeling some relief. from my untrained eye, the ultrasound didnt seem to indicate any new fluid. hopefully we wont have to go back for awhile.
he has been a lot more active since coming home, and his strength is increasing. he is somewhere around 150 pounds now (hard to tell with all the excess fluid), which is great. you may see him back in action soon! | |

| I am so glad to hear of your progress .. your whassabey is greatly missed!! Girls I have been where you are now and dealing with all the Dr's can be very frustrating. But you hit it right on when you said you wish to find one that wants to fight as hard as your dad that is very important. Don't stop pushing them. Love to all. |
