The Wild World of TB!

The cardiologists released Ken on Thursday after a night of observation. Still don't know what caused the Atrial Fibulation, but maybe recent developments will shed some light on it.

What recent developments?

Ken was readmitted to the hospital today. Initial thoughts were that he had an abcess in/on one of his previous surgical incisions. Yes and No.

Ken just got out of surgery. To repair a fecal fistula. He hadn't been back in his room five minutes when I called and talked to him.

I won't go into the details, but a fistula is a permanent abnormal passageway between two organs in the body or between an organ and the exterior of the body.

He might get discharged as early as tomorrow, but could be at late as Monday. Will be going home with a continuous wound suction pump...which is awesome, as they 'supercharge' healing and decrease healing times!

He's resting comfortably at present. Keep him in your prayers.
