| Alex has another hurdle to overcome. Just when we thought it was better, it looks like there is another hurdle to jump over. Alex's knee looked red to me again today so I took him to see my friend who is a nurse. She thinks there is something going on still and has advised me to take him back to the doctor tomorrow. She has recommended a referral to a wound care doctor. I hate to keep asking but my baby boy needs prayers. This has been going on since March. It is time for him to have some relief. I feel so helpless.

| This is always such a worry after Alex' type infection. I believe I would first see an infectious disease specialist - say the head of the Infectious Disease Department of your nearest big city's best hospital and let him send you to the wound care specialist he most trusts, if one is necessary. I thought most wound care specialists were usually used for chronic, very long-term infections of diabetics, osteomyelitis, etc. I'd at least get an infectious disease consult just to be on the safe side.

| Thanks everyone. At this point, I think prayers are the best thing for Alex. We need prayers for healing and guidance on who needs to be treating him at this point. It may be nothing and I hope that is the news I get. However, after the last ordeal, I don't want to drag my feet on this. The only positive thing is IF it is something, we are getting help early.

| Hi Rhonda... I was just reading your post. I agree with your friend I would go to a wound care. I didn't understand what you were saying when you texted me.. sorry. The surgery is not the issue it is healing. I sure hope you get in fast and it is something simple to care for. I am sending prayers and hope to hear good news!

| Just got off the phone with the nurse from my PCP office. They are going to review Alex's file and get back with me on what we need to do. So right now, it is a waiting game.
