Thank you all. I can't tell you what a blessing it is to come on here and see how each of you care about us. I truly thank you for the prayers.
I will try to make a very long 2 months short. Alex had a tumor removed from his knee in March. We had two rounds of antibiotics because of an infection. Then we had a problem with fluid gathering around the knee. Last weekend, the fluid "came out" of his knee. But it was a clear pinkish fluid and the doctor did not express concern. Last night, a cloudy pinkish fluid was draining and two "bumps" appeared. This morning we had a bloody fluid draining. And the bumps were more noticeable. Needless to say, we ended up in the ER and have been admitted to the hospital. Since Alex had eaten and drank liquids, they do not want to do surgery today. At this point, we think his surgery will be tomorrow. My understanding is that the bumps are pus pockets and they are going to re open his knee and "clean it out". At this point, they are planning that for tomorrow.
I do appreciate the prayers. My sweet baby boy need them. Thank you. |
