Ruth/Mom/Grammy had surgery on the 28th to insert her chemotherapy port and PEG tube. She did remarkably well during surgery considering she is 85. I am sure all the prayers played a part in making the surgery uneventful and successful. Thank you. She had to stay overnight in the hospital to make sure she didn't run a temperature and that the PEG tube stayed in place. With that accomplished, she is now home and recovering nicely. She is still able to chew and swallow so she is not using the PEG tube at the moment. We hope she never has to use it, but it is there if she needs it.
Next appointment: with chemotherapy oncologist to check the healing process after insertion of her port and hopefully to schedule the beginning of chemotherapy treatment.
THANK YOU for all your prayers and thank you to those of you who have been sending cards to Mom.
