They have Samuel comfortable now. They basically opened up the bottom of the wound about two inches and drained everything and are now going to keep it packed with gauze. It's not the ideal situation because he doesn't have the fascia (the material that binds the muscles and organs organs etc.) closed. He has only had a skin closure, no muscle, so now he is completely open in that one area again. Right now he is having the procedure done to replace the left nephrostomy drain in his kidney. He has been gone for about an hour and a half. He is not in ICU. They moved him to the Jones Pavillion room 614 at about 3:00 am this morning. It has been one procedure after another since then. We are very tired, but so thankful we are back on the floor instead of ICU. Thank you for lifting Samuel in prayer. I've often thought of how no parent ever wants to see a child go through such an ordeal, but if one of ours had to go through this, I can't imagine anyone handling this better than Samuel has. He's a fighter.
