Tripp saw Dr. K - his surgeon - this morning. He is concerned, but thinks it is a topical irritation/inflammation, not a return of MRSA - based on blood tests, etc. He took out some stitches to relieve some pressure.
He will be monitored daily. Tomorrow he will see the infectious disease doctor and then Dr. K again.
Tripp looked much better this morning than he did last night - and really much better when he got home.
I passed on the suggestions about Johns Hopkins and second opinions. He is not at all interested. I can't make him and must rely on him to sort out all the advice and then rely on the still, small voice of God. We already know that God has used this time to accomplish some good things that might not otherwise have become part of our experience. One of those is the reliance on prayer and counting on friends to pray with us.
Thank you so much - I will update tomorrow.
