We know our blog followers are looking for a Porter update after our admission for the infection last week Friday. We are working on a couple other posts, and forgot to update. So here it is!
Porter's infection was identified quickly. Luckily he was started on antibiotics on Friday even before the infection was confirmed. So, his cultures have been clear for two days now. He is now on oral antibiotics and the plan is for discharge tomorrow!
Porter's drain at the graft site was left in over the weekend so the fluid could be cultured, but it is also the suspected source of the infection. So, with bacteria on the decline as of yesterday, his drain was removed!
Hopefully this time tomorrow we will be arriving at home.
