Well, with a week of good progress, we were hopeful for a swift recovery for Andre's knee...but...it was not to be! After a weekend of bad pain and a high fever, we discovered this morning that he has an infection in the knee, as well as one of the incisions. So, back to surgery tomorrow at 6:30 am! The doctor will be going into the knee again, this time to clean it all out, as well as try to fix the incision. That, plus a strong course of antibiotics, should get him back on track again.
This is a rather major set-back for him, as another general anesthetic will take a while to recover from, and he cannot do any physical therapy until the infection has cleared up.
Please keep him in your prayers! He continues to be in good spirits and is a wonderful patient despite all the pain. Thank you for all the emails and phone calls!
