Yesterday he woke up and was having troubles breathing. He was rushed into the city, he has pericardial effusion (fluid around the heart). They removed 1.73L worth of fluid. The worst of it was he sent me a text of the fluid.
Holy shit! So, is he going to be alright?
He came home today and doing good. They did some testing to see why it happened. Could be something big or just a viral infection that didn't get dealt with and caused problems.
