Kim called on her way home from her first treatment. She said everything went well with the chemotherapy. While there she was struggling with her breathing and so they sent her to the hospital to be checked out. They decided to draw fluid out of the left side of her chest cavity. They took out 1350 cc's of fluid. Normally they do not draw fluid from both sides at the same time - because there is a chance that the lungs can collapse, but after getting the doctors opinion - they decided to draw fluid out of the other side where she had previously drained just last Friday night - and they took out another 1000 cc's from that side.
The doctor said that it could take up to a couple of weeks for the chemo to begin to help decrease the fluids.
So tonight there is something that Kim has requested that we can all help with - and that is to exercise our faith and specific prayers in her behalf to ask that her body will begin to respond quickly to the treatments and that these fluids will cease and she will be able to be strengthened and calmed through our united faith and prayers.
