So here's how we think this happened. For some reason in his second
surgery part of his lymphatic system got injured. This can happen as
they are getting access to the heart to perform the surgery. This is
what caused the fluid buildup. It is called a chylus effusion. There
was also some narrowing of his left artery which reduced blood flow.
One or both of these conditions reduced the flow to his left lung
which in turn allowed clots to form. Thank goodness this was spotted
by Catherine who does his weekly ultrasounds.
