Yes, the fluid in her lungs is from the heart failure. It's also why she feels so weak and tired all the time. Gary fights through that too. He takes LOTS of fluid pills to keep it off his lungs. But your mom's condition is hampered by her kidney failure - so not only does she have fluid buildup from heart failure, but also from kidney failure, so she has a double whammy!
Gary has to use the carts in Walmart too, when he is not feeling good. At first he was embarrassed, but now he's just like your mom - a race car driver - LOL! Although sometimes you get a reallllllly slooooow cart, and it is so funny to see him put-putting along like a snail.
