Too good to be true

I wish this post was on happier news but it's not. We are asking for everyone's prayers for Benny. He was admitted back into the hospital yesterday afternoon due to an infection on his incision. On Wednesday I took him into the surgeon's office because he had been leaking some puss and hints of blood onto his clothes from his incision. The nurse practitioner looked at it, prescribed some antibiotic ointment as well as an oral antibiotic, and said to come back the next day. We went back, and she said she didn't see enough of an improvement and decided to admit him in order to be on the cautious side. We only want what's best for him, but we can't help but think he doesn't belong there. He had only had two doses of his oral antibiotic (not even a full 24 hours worth) and they made their decision based on that. We felt he should have been given another day but I guess they didn't. Probably because it's so close to his bone and his heart. Anyways, he's back at Children's hospital, hopefully only for a couple days. So please pray for quick healing for his incision so that he may come home and be where he belongs, with his family!
