Dad Update
My dad just called me and said he's heading back to the hospital. They are going to open up the incision, and try to find the infection.
He's had an infection (they are saying staph, but aren't 100% sure) for a couple of weeks. He's been taking strong antibiotics for over a week. The fevers aren't going away. So they are going to go in and see if they can find where the infection is.
This is one of the possible complications of such an intricate surgery. So I'm not worried or all that surprised. But it's my dad. And I don't want him to have to go through anymore. So, to the bacteria I say, "Away with you!"
Hopefully, it'll be a quick, easy thing. They go in, capture some infectious bad guys, identify them, then get the right antibiotics in my dad's IV. All will be well, and everyone lives happily ever after.
