When they went to draw fluid from her lungs they discovered that there was not enough fluid to make it worthwhile. I guess that's a good thing. They didn't have to put her through a procedure that could have caused other problems.
Unfortunately, allthough they loaded her with platelets last night she was low again this morning. Last week I had a conversation with Nurse R about the possibility that the edema dilutes the platelet reading. She has been going up in fluid volume so that may have an effect. Dr. F informed us that the CAT scan from the other day showed possibly tumors in her lungs. I'm going to choose to believe that he read it wrong.

I am glad she did not have to have the procedure done. I will pray there are no tumors in her lungs. I am having problems donating in Miami... the blood center here is not the same org as the one in Orlando. I did find one in Miramar, so I will be contacting them for an appointment.
Much love,
Luli
