Wolfy's drainage tube fell out of his chest yesterday triggering an emergency medical response.
When the drainage tube completely fell out during Wolfy's empyema treatment, the most immediate danger of this for Wolfy is pneumothorax, where outside air rushes into the open wound and collapses the lung. Luckily, the medical staff were there immediately and managed it safely. They sealed up the hole and waited to see how he would be without another tube, because it was Day 4 since the drainage tube was inserted and by then, they expected the fluid/pus to be almost fully drained out.
However, an X-ray this morning showed that some air bubbles were showing in his chest cavity from when the tube fell out, and it also showed a lot more fluid than expected left in the chest cavity.
His temperature went high again overnight, indicating the infection is still lingering in his bloodstream despite the very strong Antibiotics he has been on for over weeks.
He is having another surgical procedure right now to get the drainage tube reinserted.
Thank you all for your love and prayers and donations for Wolfy 🤎🙏🏾🤎🙏🏾🤎🙏🏾🤎
