Puffy and Bloated

Eric is retaining some water and is getting bloated. Unfortunately, he is dehydrated at the same time. This is possible because the water is collecting in his tissue and is not circulating in his bloodstream. His abdomen is swollen enough that he can't take a full breath, so he is getting some oxygen to help ease his breathing. He is tentatively scheduled for another central line surgery and endoscopy later this week, but we'll have to wait to see how he is feeling.
