Update on winery's DS - still in the hospital

Hooray2005

For those following winery's son's story (nutshell: large hematoma on his forehead became really infected, requiring hospitalization, antibiotics, and surgery this morning) - here's an update from winery:

B is doing well all things considered.  He had surgery this morning, and is still in the hospital and will be there until at least Friday, if not longer.  I know winery would appreciate kind thoughts and prayers sent her son's (and her) way

From winery directly [my comments in brackets]:

"While here, I've had pediatricians that aren't ours come in to look at him and say that in their "30 years, they've never seen anything like this". I was seeing red by the last one. [nothing like having your child become the "unusual" case in the hospital!]

The surgery took minutes and the surgeon could not emphasize enough that there was an incredible amount of infection in there.

He has an open wound that will heal from the inside out and we have to pack it. His poor little face is so swollen he can hardly open his eyes but he is getting better.

Hospital chairs are not comfortable for sleeping." [Poor thing sounds exhausted!]

Here's a pic from today - poor little guy

Sending lots of thoughts and prayers winery's way for a speedy recovery for poor little B!

Ugh-- this feels like her c/section issues all over again.

I wonder if there's some kind of genetic tendency toward this kind of hematoma.

Poor little man. Wishing him a speedy recovery.  Being in the hospital with your LO is no fun-I remember like it was yesterday with J.

Poor baby:( That's terrible. What sort of infection was it? MRSA? Benjamin and the Winery clan are in my T&P's. What a nightmare.

That is awful!  I hope he heals up really quickly.  And poor Mommy too.  That's got to be the scariest thing ever.

I feel awful. I was the first person (aside from winery and her DH) to hold B when he was born! I hate seeing him like that. :-(

Get well fast, B!!

Poor baby and poor winery and the whole family.  They will all be in my thoughts and prayers!  Hoping for a very fast recovery!

I thought the same thing.  Poor baby and poor her... at least she knows how to pack a wound.  I wonder why they aren't putting them in a room with a bed.  At least she could try to get a little sleep that way.

femmegem

That poor baby. My thoughts are with them all.
