I should be use to this by now, but it's frustrating for both of us. Monday night, before our departure home, Linda passed out twice & her blood pressure dropped a lot. I got her to Mayo emergency where the decision was made to re-admit her. She was acutely dehydrated.
She was having pain in lower abdomen & got low grade fever. They found liquid build-up in belly cavity. For us lay people, this sounds catastrophic, to the liver Drs., it's another day at the office!! Hydration solved blood pressure problem. They drained her belly area, 3 liters. It was not toxic, which could have been deadly. Her liver is doing well & if they can identify cause of low grade fever, she could still come home this week.
I'm not making bets on it, but remain hopeful. Linda is upbeat but just wants to come home. Please keep her in your prayers a little longer.
