Back to the ER he went.

Infection sets in....
7 doctors by his side. Pushing a surgical tube through one wound to another then pulling back and forth. What a night! Shawn was gone for 5 hours or more. They almost admitted him. He was sent home at 2am with 5 medications and a big bag of supplies: swabs, irrigation solution jugs, syringes and catheters. I got to help by pushing the syringe. I felt like a nurse. Shawn is to visit the doctor three times a day to get a professional cleaning. What a crazy couple of days!

It is a drain to allow any fluid to run off. And yes it does run through my face.

Holy moly! Shawn, I hope you're doing ok. At least you know why they have to do all of that to you.

Poor B. There must be something really wrong for him to have done that.
