Tuesday morning they drained her hip infection. The doctor placed a red rubber tube into the wound for irrigation. This tube extends out and wraps around the gauze. He said the infection was an abscess and was bigger than he'd thought. He said she was lucky not to have it infect the bone.
Alison's recovering just fine from the surgery, although last night she got sick twice. I say it's hospital funk. The cultures haven't grown much of anything, so they think it will be okay to fight from home, but won't release her earlier than Friday.
We're all business right now, I know, but as my fortune cookie said today, "When you're up to your ears, it is best to keep your mouth closed."
