PleurX Catheter System

Mom has continued to struggle with pleural effusion, fluid around her lung.  When she went in last week and had 700ml of fluid drained off again, it was decided that it was time to insert a PleurX catheter system.

This system provides effective at-home palliation of symptoms associated with recurrent pleural effusions and malignant ascites. This clinically proven treatment option allows patients to manage their symptoms through intermittent drainages in the comfort of their homes with minimal physician intervention.

Mom went in to the OR at 9am this morning and was out at 11am already.  They already drained another 300ml of fluid off her lung this morning.  Currently Mom and Dad are waiting with Uncle Henry and Aunt Henrietta for for CCAC to give her discharge and care instructions before she will be able to leave. 

Please pray:
  • There will be no complications with this system.
  • This will solve some of the pain, discomfort, nausea and fluid issues she's been struggling with recently.
Thanks!
