Love/Hate Relationship

I hate being here because it means my child isn't well but I love that they are here to help... It was great going home on Saturday. Then on Monday, I pulled back the bandage over his incision to sneak a peek and was sickened to find it oozing. (Oh, and the smell...) Joss and I took him to Gunnison where they quickly agreed that it was infected. We put him in an ambulance bound for Primary's. This morning, our own Salina gem, Dr. Rhet Hallows, came in to let me know that Brody will go into surgery today to "irrigate" the wound. They anticipate doing a good cleaning and stitching it back up. However, if the infection has gotten down to the hardware, it will have to be removed immediately. Then he may have to wait a while before it can be replaced and we start this whole VEPTR placement over again. :(
