I missed any of your posts talking about this, but, my dear, how frightening for you all. It will be all right even if the recuperation period is painful and seems slow (my cousin had one of these shortly after she had her twins a year ago.) Oddly enough, this is apparently one of the fastest growing 'illnesses' in this country today, according to the ER doctors who treated my cousin.
Having said that, I do hope he feels better soon, and they minimize the spread of the abcess, which probably grew faster than anyone realized it was an issue.
I'll be thinking of you and yours a great deal over the next few days, and wishing there was something more I could do.
