Port in, biopsy node out

Mom now has a port (or "catheter port") near her left should, and as long as it doesn't give out, there is good access for fluids.  It took longer than expected as the doctors first routing choice ended up being "teeny tiny veins." But it is in.

The easier part was pulling a node.  Remember, 24-48 hours before we know anything.

She was very very sleepy this morning after the colonoscopy, and was just really starting to be alert about an hour before the port-biopsy procedures started.  I'm hoping she gets to sleep well tonight. 

If all the doctors agree, they will start a steroid tomorrow (kidney doctor wants to watch it carefully).
