Kip took Ruth/Mom/Grammy to Baylor All Saints to have her port checked today. Her port has indeed "flipped" and Dr. Patel and the nurse recommended mom put warm compresses on her port to help with the swelling, stop taking her blood thinner, and return to the hospital next week to have the 1st port removed and a 2nd port placed on the other side of her chest. Needless to say, Mom is not too happy about the prospects of a second surgery and a second port.
