Well we are back at MDA. Let me start from the beginning and tell you how we got here! Dad has been having some drainage from his incision. They watched it close last week and monitored him for infection. Saturday morning Health South called us, and said that Dad's fever spiked through the night and they were taking him to St. Elizabeth. We met them there and began the waiting progress. They did some tests only to come back and say that they could not touch him since MDA did the surgery. At 1:30 they began calling MDA to get Dad accepted. We finally heard from them at 5:30 and they accepted him. Then we had to wait for an ambulance to transport him, That finally happened at 8:00 last night, and we got to the ER at MDA around 10:00.
A neurosurgeon came in and put a stitch where the incision was leaking. She came back in this morning and explained that we will have to put a spinal drain in tomorrow so that the fluid can drain off. There is no sign of infection, but they have him on heavy duty antibiotics just in case. They also said that there is no fluid leaking in to the brain so that is good. We will also do an MRI tomorrow. Dad is in good spirits, he finally got to eat this morning so he is a happy camper :)
Please pray that this situation clears up soon so we can go HOME!! He is so ready...Thank you for your prayers and continued support. We are blown away each day by the outpouring of love and concern. We couldn't make it without you!
