Ilovemypoppop Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Hey all, well here is the latest. My pop-pop is still in the hospital. He was put on oxygen for the first time today. His scans show no new growth. He has a bunch of fluid around his heart and in his lungs. They are going to give him a lasic (sp???) to help get rid of the fluid. I think they are trying to determine where and what the root of the fluid buildup is. I guess this is going to be a day by day process. I guess the most upsetting thing for me is not knowing what will happen next....fingers crossed until next time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyW Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I would think A pleural effusion? would be a better solution though but I do not know all your dads medical details. This procedure basically puts in a tube to drain fluid out of Lining around Lungs and Heart. Fairly simple in MOST cases but then again I dont know all of dads Medical history. Hope he is feeling better real soon Hugs and Prayers Randy IN NC! Hugs and Prayers Randy in NC!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
