My father, 85 has had congested heart failure for 10 years, 8 in the 4th stage and some doctors have said he is a miracle. His will to live is unbelieveable. My question: he just had 16 lbs of fluid removed in the hospital last week, in hospital 2 days, discharged, and the fluid is again retaining in his body, 1 1/4 lbs. a day, he weighs and documents his weight daily. He is on dieuritics (misspelled)(4 a day), how hard is the gain and loss on his health? Can he live another 4 years like this?
Thank you for any information.
