Jean you have such a wonderful way of explaining things. Thank you. :-)

I note you observed and reported in your JHL article
"IV administration of crystalloid fluid dilutes the concentration of plasma 
protein in direct correlation with the amount administered, resulting in 
excess interstitial fluid which may delay the resolution of engorgement by 
up to 10 to 14 days."
and Dawn Hunter from New Zealand presenting her observations at a 
conference I went to last year confirms these findings in case studies of 
women who experience increased breast edema, decreased volume of colostrum 
and delayed lactogenesis II, until serum albumin levels reached 30g/L.

Have you or others thought of continuing the research looking at the serum 
albumin levels, and if we can't prevent or change their low levels start 
working out ways to treat these low levels rapidly.
