Jereth has been taking a diuretic for a couple of days now. Although the excess fluid on his lungs has decreased - well at least he is breathing much more freely - he has lost fluid everywhere else, too. His weight has gone down and he looks emaciated, his legs and arms are tiny sticks and his eyes are sunken and dark.
We'll be seeing our family doctor this afternoon so we'll find out if this is normal.
On the plus side, he has been eating much better, so hopefully that will bring his weight back up and get him looking more healthy. He has been as awake and alert as before so that is a comfort, too.
