Update: Travis' wound vacs

Travis had another surgery today. Every Monday and Thursday he goes in for a wound wash out. The wound in his backside and stomach get cleaned out and checked out to see if there's any infection. He also has "wound vacs" in his wounds. They are teeny vacuums that keep the wound clear of excess fluid, so the wound will heel from the inside out. Today was a good surgery day. There was no infections, and they took out his stomach wound vac because it has heeled so well! They sutured his stomach through all the layers, and will keep a close eye on it for infection. It was a good day overall.
