They were going to drain fluid yesterday, but then they realized that there was no fluid to drain in the right lung. It's just that the right lung is full of growths. The left lung is clear. All of the nurses have told her that she doesn't look sick. I think the theory is that she's not actually ready to go soon (unless something else happens, heart attack, blood clot, etc...). The main reason that she's at my aunt's house (not at hospice, but in hospice care) is because she is weak and was sure that she would eventually fall.
But other than that she's not doing too badly. She's having a problem eating and sleeping but had some sleeping meds which are helping her sleep last night. I think this was the first time she had 8 hours of sleep in a long time.
She's not terribly happy because she thinks that it's going to take a while. I hope it doesn't, but this should be a good visit.
