Nana's legs had been swelling prior to Christmas, and she didn't want to mess up Christmas for anyone by going to the hospital. Things continued to get worse and worse so Laura took her into the ER on December 27. They finally got a bed in the ER, and eventually a room. Nana was administered a diuretic via IV and was discharged on the 29th, having spent a couple of days, and losing several pounds from excess fluid.
When she went into the hospital she was 10 pounds above her normal weight--from just fluid alone! Dr M. has put her on a strict fluid restriction to help with this problem.
