(graphic ahead- warning)
Oh so they did surgery this morning. Opened him up and cleaned out all the dead tissue and ick that was in there. I have to say I was not prepared for what I saw when they changed his dressing. OMG! I freaked out when I saw that his belly is sliced wide open! I didn't verbally freak out boy did my fingers do some walking with texting. Before he had staples with a open wound for drainage. You all know about the other area that was icky. I do have a picture but it is extremely graphic, not to mention private as well. I can give you an idea though. Top is before. Reddish area is the open wound. Bottom brown staple is the infection area that was oozing. Second on is the current one. Basically he is still sliced open with string on each side holding him together. The blue are bumper type things so the string doesn't cut the flesh.
Baby momma is back up the 5 hrs but only for the weekend. I am falling asleep sitting here I am so exhausted. Now you have an idea of what in the heck is going on now.
thank GOD that the issue/problem has been addressed. Although messy and awkward and painful (no doubt), I hope his recovery now can proceed without much incident. THANK GOD it was caught in time, before it killed him!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad the infection was caught. Hopefully now he can actually begin to heal! Don't forget to take care of yourself since you are having to do so much for others.
