Holly- So sorry that your mom is having so many issues with her health. Feeling

defeated is a bad place to be, so I hope that you find a doctor or someone that

can help you with her issues, especially the edema. I had severe edema in my

legs after both of my C-sections and that was miserable. Luckily, it passed as

the fluids left my body.

I searched " edema " and found this info on Mayo's website:

http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/edema/DS01035

I am sure you have already done that, but it states that it is usually due to an

underlying medical condition and/or medications. They also mentioned that is is

almost always effectively treated.

All I can offer is encouragement for your sweet mom to persevere and prayers for

relief soon. Take care.
