Marc was able to see the nurse practitioner this morning. She ordered an ultrasound for Marc and determined that he does, indeed, have fluid on his abdomen. What has caused the fluid buildup we do not know. Tomorrow he will head back to the hospital to have a paracentisis. Essentially they will be draining the excess fluid that has accumulated in his abdomen. We are hoping this will provide some pain relief and give his organs some room. Right now he is not able to eat normal meals because his digestive system is so crowded by fluid and tumor.
We are glad that we finally have some answers to what is causing this horrible abdominal bloating he has experienced. We are hoping the procedure will give him some immediate relief. He is pretty miserable right now.
The paracentesis will likely be an out-patient procedure. We'll let you all know how it goes tomorrow!
Thank you for your continued prayers and support.
With love and gratitude...
