Complications

Cyler has done extremely well following his stoma closure surgery.  Week one the incision looked like it was completely healed.  Week two the trouble began. He woke up on Saturday morning with drainage from the incision site.  We took him to the hospital and were given ABT cream and med.  Week three it started to look pretty good again but towards the end of the week he developed a ball at one end of the incision.  Finally a few days a go a pretty good sized piece of stitch was laying on Cyler's chest when he woke up.  Here we are a few days later and the ball is still there!   I am not sure if there is more that needs to come out or not.  Keeping Cyler's hands away from it is quite challanging.  I sure hope that it heals soon!
