My son was admitted to childrens hospital here in Philadelphia this past sunday and on Monday, the left incision had to be reopened, cleaned and restitched. He had a superficial skin infection. Now he has 10 stitches that have to be removed on the 20th and he needs to be sedated because he will not stay still for it!
And, a cat scan revealed some fluid on the right side of his. Not only that, but after this procedure was done, I noticed a lump on his head above his right ear. Well, the neurosurgeon who did this procedure said that the lump could not be from the procedure he did and is probably scar tissue built up. Well, it was not there when we got to the hospital on Sunday! Could scar tissue build up and pop out that fast?? He also told me that the fluid they saw on the scan may or may not be a problem.....gee, thanks a lot!
I am so angry and frustrated with the care we are receiving with childrens hosptial here in Philadelphia. It seems that since we decided to have the initial surgery done in Boston, the drs. here in Phila. do not want to do any follow up care with my son.
I sent an email to drs in Boston about what has happened and will most likely be going back to Boston soon for them to check my son out.
