Tim was FINALLY released today and has been referred to an infection disease doctor. This doctor will now work on cleaning up the infection that developed in his incision, which will take about 4-6 weeks. Tim has a pic-line in his arm that leads to a vein right above his heart and this is where he will get the IV antibiotics. We met with the nurse this afternoon and learned how to give him the IV. The antibiotics will have to be administered 2x/day for the next 4-6 weeks. At least he can get the IV's at home!
Once the infection is cleared up, he will have another surgery. This will be to put in a titanium plate to replace the bone and will be in about 3 months. I keep hoping my updates are to tell you he is felling normal and back to work. Hopefully both will happen SOON!
