We headed to the ER early because we just assumed Monday would be a busy day at the Emergency Room. We were correct. Radiology had to squeeze us in so they didn't finish the procedure until almost 3:00pm. The paracentesis drained 5 liters of fluid this time.
The ER doctor asked if she had been prescribed lactulose to help with liver function and controlling the ammonia levels in her blood. That's the likely cause of her confusion.
We'll be reaching out to see if we can move up her liver doctor appointment which is currently scheduled for November.
