Update On Ben Decker...

Here is the most current update on my great nephew Ben from his grandmother (my sister)...

On Friday evening it was noticed that Ben's old incision from the other bag he had was seeping. It was decided to open that back up and they found an infection. Nothing serious but something that needed to be tended to right away. They packed the stomach cavity area with gauze and have been changing it twice a day. He is being heavily medicated again but is starting to eat a little solid food. He has no appetite yet and he hasn't been out of bed since the procedure on Friday night. Darrell said it was very painful and Ben told me it was the worst thing they had done to him.

Ben's mom went back home on Friday afternoon so wasn't there when this happened. Her dad, Ben's other Grandpa will be leaving tomorrow (Monday) and Darrell will start spending the nights with Ben at the hospital. I Will be flying up on Wednesday and stay until Sunday. Hopefully, Ben will be able to go home Tuesday or Wednesday barring any other complications.


Thanks so much for your prayers...
