Hi Windy,
I'm sorry there's been no response for a couple of days, hopefully someone with more experience will be getting back with you soon.
I'm sure you didn't do anything wrong

I stumbled on a post that was about the fluid buildup you mentioned. I will try to locate it again and let you know what thread it is in.

You and Joe have had a hard road. I'm so sorry for what you're both going through. I hope you get the info you need soon.
