Elwood out of surgery

[elnutsmalljaws]

Mrs Smalljaws here...
Elwood is doing well, and resting right now. His surgeon was able to irrigate the infected area and discovered some free floating mesh once he got inside that had not shown up on the numerous ct scans they had done. He still has drainage tube and a nine inch cut to heal from but the day was a success overall. Thank you again for all your support and concern for him and for our family. It has been a great source of inspiration for us through these rough times. Have a safe weekend.

Don't jump to conclusions so early Billy. Here I am healing up fine with some GREAT news from Friday and then Sunday comes around. My drain tube went from holding blood, which is GREAT, to now holding something that looks like Bile, which is TERRIBLE. They have added more antibiotics to the list, sent the Bile off to lab for analysis and cancelled any ideas that they had given me of going home Mon or Tue. Temperature is now a bit above 100 so another setback for Elnut, it looks like. The A Team of doctors will be in Monday morning to evaluate so we will see but my wound changed for the worse Saturday night and now this. Par for the course for me. Just keep rolling with the punches.

Thanks to all for your support. Hopefully I will meet you all one day on the water. Either way, with the size of my wound it will be February if any this year for me to float the fly. Hope you all have fun at Dale in December and I will be the fella wishing he was there the most.
