Mom had an abdominal CT last week that showed some fluid on her belly and suggested fluid in the lungs. The doctor seems content to keep her on her regular regimen of water pills to clear the fluid, but wants a chest x-ray to see the lungs a little clearer to be sure there's fluid in them. I'm not sure what the procedure would be at that point. One step at a time. I will update when I know more.
Also, a social worker came out and is trying to help get us into some programs that might help with respite care and help reimburse those folks who generously take the time out of their day to cart Mom around to her doctors and tests. It's unclear whether we qualify for help, as always, but we'll try and see what happens.
