We had a thing. You were my lucky number. All of a sudden you have turned on me. All this crap started with W on August 13th. We were notified of the impending Houston stay on January 13th. Now, on March 13th, Wes starts running fever and ends up having yet another surgery and hospital stay.
I am really starting to feel betrayed.
Weston had been very
fussy and restless starting Friday evening. Last night we noticed a slight low grade fever (99.4-ish). By 10 this morning, he was over 101 and had redness and tenderness around his incision.
Now, he has had a piece of suture sticking out from one part of the incision since his transplant. My theory, is that the exposed stitch created the opportunity for bacteria from skin/baths/life get in.
So now he has an "abdominal wall abscess". Abscesses need to be drained and cleaned out (irrigation and debridement). In and of itself, not a huge deal. BUT for immunosuppresed W, any infection can start the rejection process. FRICK!!
Long story short, his surgery went well; he is getting a PICC tomorrow; his labs look great
And, The Daddy did a great job handling all the chaos. I was at work and he did the whole ER/surgery on his own...and took pics:
Funny, he doesn't look sick.
"Yep. Here I am. In the hospital. Again."
After his surgery, doing great.

I do not like that date either for other reasons. Glad to see him doing better. Get well soon.

So glad to hear he's doing better. Never did like the 13th day of any month, now even more so.
Ashley & WmP are super heroes.
Love
