We are home!
Mason will be taking clindamycin (antibiotic) for awhile, and he will be followed closely by both the orthopedic department and the infectious disease department. They want him to stay out of school until Thursday or Friday, or later if he still is feeling bad.
The plan now is to keep him healthy and let that bone grow and consolidate. That should take a couple of months, then another surgery to take out the plate.
We are all exhausted, but Mason is really still very tired.
During one of the times Mason was very "animated" during his hospital stay, he decided his bacteria, staphylococcus aureus, sounds like a dinosaur name. Click here to see what he means--he is right. :)
I hope all of you, including Hank, finally get a good nights sleep!
