Don went to surgery about 9:45. We are waiting on the call to say surgery has begun. Don slept well for the most part. At 1:30 the lab came in to take blood and Don realized his gown was pretty well soaked. The incision was leaking again. They came in and cleaned him up, dressed the incision, and changed his gown. The ortho doctor came in a little after 5:00 and confirmed surgery for this morning at 10:30. However at 8:00 they came in to say they were ready to get him then. They had come in about 7:30 and removed his cast on his left arm to check for infection there. There was no infection so they were to recast it. That delayed them a little in getting him to surgery as they came to recast just minutes before they arrived to take him to surgery. They called just a few minutes ago to say surgery had begun and everything was going well. Please pray that this will be the only time he has to have surgery to clean this incision out. Even though it is a minor operation, sometimes it has to be done two or three times to get all the infection out. Also pray that he doesn't get any new infections anywhere else. I will update when Don is out of surgery.
