The good news is that the drain got removed last Thursday (7/17). Dr.Teague was in the office that day. This was supposed to be a quick office visit to pull the drain out, but of course, turned into something more once we got there. When Dr.Teague went to pull the drain out, he said something was "hung." The drain came out, but there was a suture that was hanging out of the incision that was apparently supposed to pull right out with the drain. Dr.Teague (who is an older surgeon in his late 50s, early 60s) said that he had "never seen this happen." Just our luck, right? So, off we went for another outpatient surgery. We were supposed to be leaving later that afternoon to go to Charleston to start the wedding weekend, but after spending yet another full day at the hospital, we decided to go home and rest and leave first thing Friday morning.
The next update will come on August 7, when Banks will go for his follow up ultrasound to see if the surgery fixed the hydronephrosis like it was intended to. Prayers that everything looks perfect so that we can be done with this whole situation!
