Gpa Bill Update.

Okay, so yesterday afternoon they drained 2 liters from his lungs and 7 liters from his abdomen...he's going to have to start exercising more and he's on the transplant list for a new liver (not a new kidney like I originally thought). Because he has too much potassium they are giving him some medicine so he can basically poop the potassium out [sorry if I grossed anyone out just then]. They actually had to strap him down to the bed yesterday so he wouldn't get up...the nurses walked in and caught him trying to get up to go to the bathroom because he forgot he had a catheter in. Grandma and Aunt Alaina (dad's sister) thought the straps were there because his belly had expanded so much, but it was because they couldn't keep him in his bed otherwise (which makes me laugh a little bit because it shows the Curtis stubbornness, haha).
I talked to Alaina earlier and they're moving him into a regular room. He's going to be doing physical therapy at the request of my aunt & Grandma...I'm not sure if he know about that part....lol. But he should be released later this week. I don't think they fully know yet what's causing the fluids to keep coming back.
That's all I know right now...I'll keep posting as I get updates.
