Friday I talked to Mom in the morning and they had decided that they were going to go ahead and remove the port just in case as they really couldn't find anything else that could be causing the fever and infection to keep returning. So they were trying to get a team together (on a holiday weekend) to do the surgery yesterday. In the meantime, Rachel and Dad headed over there to spend some time with her in the afternoon. Apparently, Dr. Lee finally got Mom's blood tests results for Saturday back and was frantically calling the hospital/nurses/surgeons to cancel the surgery as her numbers are finally starting to rise to safe levels...she even called Mom's cell phone to tell her to NOT let them wheel her in for surgery, just in case she couldn't get ahold of the right people to get it canceled in time...so anyway, they have decided that it isn't necessary to remove the port and her fever has now been gone for about 48 hours and her platelets, WBC and RBC numbers are moving in the right direction and she seems to be getting better finally.
Today she is feeling a bit better, just having a hard time with eating as nothing tastes good and is hard to force down.
We are hoping that they may let her out of the hospital tomorrow, or possibly on Tuesday...she is so ready to be home again.
