Mom had the port removed around 2 yesterday afternoon. Everything with that went fine and she was feeling better, still with a fever but it was lower than it has been. She has an IV in her left arm but they needed to get another going in her other arm and her veins are all collapsed and weak and they stuck her a bunch of times. They finally decided that she needed a central line in her neck so she ended up back in surgery to have that put in. I guess it can stay in for up to 2 weeks and then will need to be removed, she didn't know if they would take it out before she leaves the hospital but I assume that they will. It is apparently a really easy procedure, said she was back in her room in about 15 minutes. She is really, really tired, all of this was pretty hard on her.
We still don't know when she'll be getting out of the hospital. We have to wait on the fever to go away and her blood counts to come back up, they are still really low.
