we’ll September 3rd I was having trouble breathing so we came to the ER. They saw me right away. Had an X-ray showed fluid in my lung.
Admitted Sun and Mon they used a tube to drain what they could for analysis. Started me on IV antibiotics. Tue they put a tube in attached to a machine to draw out the fluid.
On Fri the tube had worked itself loose so they pulled it out.
Today doctors said they plan to do surgery to clean out what they can then put in a bigger tube.
Nothing but fun and games here.

Holy smokes, when it rains it pours! You hang in there. So did they say this is a one time thing, that once this is taken care of and the fluid is gone it's once and done?
Well, this has been quite the year for you thus far. Are they saying that this surgery should take care of this issue? I’m certainly hoping it will fit your sake.Let us know how everything is going.
