Late Night Surgery
1150pm Wednesday 24 Nov 2010
Dr Fox drained the wound area early Wednesday morning and sent fluid samples to the lab for analysis.
Michele remained unconscious and her condition continued to deteriorate throughout the day.
He repeated the procedure late Wednesday afternoon.
The lab results and her condition indicated that the infection growth was not being hindered by treatment with antibiotics. (Note to medicos: Enterobacter cloacae -- cefepime / maxipime )
At 930pm he decided to perform surgery to remove a portion of her skull in front of her left ear. He planned to remove a bone flap about two inches (5cm) in diameter and replace it with a titanium screen.
The surgery began at 1030pm and was successfully completed at 1130pm.
Hopefully, we will be home by the middle of next week--02 December.
