Ascites

Ma had her CT scan Friday. She did have fluid in her abdomen, and they drained 2.5 liters from her.

Correction to her weight. She had told me she weighed 159. Turns out she meant 129. Big difference. Anyway, she was down to 123 after the procedure.

She's been having cramps and diarrhea and takes Vicodin for the pain. Pa thinks it's all due to the Xeloda. Her last dose is Wednesday morning. Maybe her symptoms will be relieved after that. She sees Dr. Irwin on the 25th. I think he plans on giving her a break from the chemo.
