The fluid is all gone, but his abdomen is still distended. They did the ultrasound today but we haven't gotten the results yet. He can go home tomorrow, IF nothing is wrong with his abdomen. I'm ready to be done with hospitals too, although the care has been very good.

Gayle, glad to hear Gary is feeling better. Praying that he continues so he can go home tomorrow, I bet you are exhausted.

Yes Lynne, I am exhausted. But tomorrow will be much better work-wise tomorrow and Fri. so that will help.
I'm not convinced that something else is not going on here, but there's no reason to sit in the hospital.

Well that's scary! I wonder what the heck is wrong?
You and Gary stay strong!

I just don't know but things are not right in his belly - since the ultrasound didn't show anything, maybe it will be OK soon and I should stop worrying. He got up to walk without oxygen and his oxygen number dropped to 83 - it is supposed to be above 90, and that makes everyone nervous. But we have an oxygen monitor at home and his oxygen drops to 85 when he walks for any length of time - so this is not that much worse. He gets more short of breath than usual, and I think that is normal for all the stress that has been put on his heart. Yet, I can't help but worry that something else is going on.......

It's hard not to worry. Impossible in fact. Is Gary eating? It seems like his stomach would be hurting since it's like it is. Hmmm. Liver function ok? Mikes gut twisted once and he was distended but it hurt, and he had no bowel sounds. Gosh, it's mind boggling, but I can't help but try to figure it out.
Do you have the feeling that something is really wrong?

His liver function is fine and they checked his liver by ultrasound. I don't think anything is badly wrong or he would be in pain or having other symptoms. Yet his abdominal distension is not right. Sigh.
We haven't seen any docs today, of course. Hopefully he can go home today!
