Saturday Evening

Hello all,
About noon today, Mom had another C-Scan. So far no reports have come from that. Mom is resting now. Her pain levels continue to change. Her port is VERY sore. The port is located around her left collar bone area. It really hurts to be touched, when she moves, and bending over even a little bitis too painful to do. As you know, I'm a light weight, but I did try to look at it a little at a time. There is a needle that is inserted through her skin and into the port. That is where they will be able to access the line. When the nurse checked it this morning to confirm it was working and to clean the line, she found the needle was not placed correctly. WHY??? We are so frustrated! She was as gentle as she could be. Taking it out wasn't fun, but Mom was a trooper. Her nurse told Mom that she wouldn't lie to her. When the needle has to be reinserted, it will be painful. They will have to push on the port area to get the needle inserted. Mom is so tired of being poked on. It breaks our hearts to see her have to suffer more than what was expected yet again. I know Mom would appreciate prayers for the reinsertion of the needle. Mom's nurse thought the needle might not have to be place today and maybe she can have a bit of a break from being poked for the rest of the day. We'll see. I'll try to shoot another report later this evening. Thank you for your prayers.

Love you, Carmen
