Good Days!

We had a PCP visit yesterday. Our PCP is an Infectious Disease specialist and she is taking over Tom's care, regarding the infection. They did a test on the larger wound and will get results in a few days, but she did not seem to be concerned about the look of everything. And has a follow-up visit with her scheduled for next week. He has also had a BUNCH of drugs discontinued (see below). Today the wound VAC was reinstalled over the larger wound only. It has been a good few days.
