Thoracentesis done

The docs were concerned so Adrienee had the larger effusion drained this afternoon. She was not happy at all but now seems to be feeling a bit better and even ate some dinner. They can only do one side at a time so they'll do the other one in the morning. They drained 1.3 liters, about 1.5 times the normal amount. Hopefully it won't fill up again. She's resting comfortably now.
