Personal comments | I am entering all this information for my daughter. Keri has increasing episodes of fluid retention (seems to corrospond with mensus). She has had multiple hospital stays related to afib. She suffered an embolic stroke 2 years ago, has recovered with only slight weakness to the left arm and leg when tired. She is raising a 9yr old daughter by herself. I am amazed at the strength she has. |
