Post Surgery
Well, it's done. Andrew had his surgery today, it went pretty good, just a few small complications but nothing serious. There is the area on his belly where the pump went in and one on his neck were the tube went into his spine. Both have stitches that will need to be removed in two weeks. He seems to be comfortable for now, pretty much sleeping because of the pain meds. Will post more later when I know more.

Sad to say but due to the Infection in Andrew's central nervous system, stemming from the pump insertion, staff infection two weeks after and then the recent infection in his spine (due to the past infection getting in his pump), the pump had to be removed and an aggressive antibiotic IV regimine took place. I just knew that getting that pump was a HUGE mistake, despite the doctors all going on and on about how wonderful it was.... I'm so frustrated.
