At least an understanding

Mary's liver function is ok. Because of the radiation, it's capacity is reduced. The result is an "overlow" of fluids into the abdominal cavity. This is the exact same behavior we saw after the surgery when she had 20% of her liver. At that time she had a clostomy bag to drain the excess.

The ED head doc just stopped by (2:00 am) and we are going home. And we see the surgeon in clinic at 9:00am tomorrow Friday.
