Would think that one quadrant might work, possibly being occuluded at this
point by internal engorgement.  Keep trying to pump?  I suppose the
occluded glands will rapidly involute from no drainage and she might get
some from remaining unocculded quadrant.  I think I would go easy on
pumping and as engogement resolves pump if she sees any drops of milk.

Sounds like a plan.  Would you need to top up baby who gets foremilk?  I
wouldn't underestimate the ability of the human body and a single breast to
produce adequately in response to the dbl stim.  Of course if 2nd breast
produces even a little, it might be just enough to pull this all off!
