Good morning Beachy Chicks Hope your week is starting off slowly and gently. I've got a big pot of coffee ready to pour. Can I get anyone a cup?
I'm off to the hospital in a little while. Yesterday they ran one last test and discovered that DW has some fluid around her heart. That's probably what caused the fainting. The likely cause is some kind of virus or infection, which explains the white count too. This morning they will remove some of the fluid so it stops putting pressure on the heart. It's a simple procedure other than the location and we hope they will get her in early rather than late in the day. Especially because she's had no food since lunch and nothing to drink since midnight. Now we just hope this won't interfere with her surgery date, three weeks from today. hoping this all resolves today and she has the next 20 days to really get strong and healthy ahead of the surgery. This is far more drama than anyone needs but I guess it's just life.
Time to feed the kitties and get the laundry on the racks (yes, I actually did manage to do laundry and clean at 5 am. It's Cottage's influence )
