July 27th

Tom just called.  Dr. Aziz called him this morning and Dad has to have some fluid drained from his lungs again.  Tom is going to get the blood work done today and the procedure is scheduled for Monday morning.  To put it in some perspective, Dad’s thoracic cavity was drained on 6/28 and then again just 12 days later.  Monday will be 20 days since the last tap.  Dr. Nyguen’s appt has been moved to Tuesday at 1:20 for a couple of reasons; so he can see Dad after the fluid removal, to get his thoughts on Dad’s ear pain if it is still present, and to give us a little more prep time for the chemo.
