Jeanine had some fluid drained off her stomach today. 4.5 liters??? They said it was about FIFTEEN pounds worth. I said "Hey...can y'all do that for me?!?"
Nope...it wouldn't work they said. Booooo!! However, Jeanine was greatly relieved and feeling much better afterwards. They said that sometimes when someone is depleted of protein and they get a blood transfusion the body leeches fluid from the blood vessels for the protein!!

Let's pray that the fluid doesn't come back (sometimes they have to drain it a time or two they say)...and that they are able to get her protein level up much better by adjusting her nutrition.

Have a great night! Jeanine's jumping Journalist
