Today Ruth/Mom/Grammy went for a follow-up visit back to the hospital where she had the surgery to insert her feeding tube and chemotherapy port.  Her feeding tube looks good and, as I said in the last entry, she has already had a meal through the tube. Unfortunately, her chemotherapy port had a hematoma around it which had to be drained. The liquid was sent off to the lab to have it checked out. There was also some swelling around the port. I'm not sure if this will postpone her chemotherapy or not. We will find out later this week.
