Update on my son

[KB21]

He’s still intubated in the PICU.  They had planned on getting him ready to extubate in the next 48-72 hours, but he spiked a fever.  CRP and pro calcitonin are elevated.  CT shows some fluid in the abdomen that could be forming an abscess.  The concern is that there may be a leak at the anastomosis.  Waiting on the plan from surgery now.  They may have to go back in, wash out the fluid, and give him a temporary or possibly permanent ostomy.

Praying, KB. Do you mind sharing a first name? It just feels a little more personal that way, but if that's too much, and it might be, I'll just make up an alias. And how old?
