Hi Jeanette,
Yes, your info certainly helps. It sounds like we don't really have to worry too much about the incision "falling apart". It has actually started to close again already. And they are continuing with the RAD, which is good because she is already behind schedule. The antibiotics seem to be working. Now if she can get over the stomach bug (at least, they think that's what it is).
Will post any new info after we see the surgeon again tomorrow. And thanks for responding. It's good to hear from someone who is so close to Heather's age. I wish you well in your recovery.
Rosemary
