Pseudomonas

So his infection is called: pseudomonas. It's a hospital germ. Ummm, I have to say I'm very upset (for lack of better words) about it actually. Lisa Laddish, CV surgery, said it's caused by a nurse using a contaminated glove while changing an incision (or) blake drain dressing or better yet... an infected suture(s) that they used to sew up the incision layers inside of him after open-heart surgery.

Pretty much, the infection and situation could have went from bad to worse, in a matter of hours, if we hadn't caught it as quick as we did.

The downside is that the antibiotic cost us $98.27, after insurance, for something the hospital caused. He'll stay on the Cipro (antibiotic - super strong stuff by the way) for 10 days, 2x day.
