On Monday he may be moved to a rehab facility for about a week. He is still being given the stronger IV antibiotics thru his picc line. The week after Thanksgiving his doctor will attempt the mandibulectomy surgery again.
At this time, its probably best to stop the cards. He wont be at the rehab facility very long so we can resume cards again when he goes back to the hospital. When I find out more info, I will update again.
