Looks like things went about as expected in the OR. I just spoke with the attending surgeon and he says things went well. They checked out his throat and windpipe and neither looked like the source of the infection/abscess. So the cause remains a mystery, we will just have to wait and see what they can identify in the Lab.
At this time he is in Recovery and I expect to be able to see him in an hour or so, then off to an inpatient bed somewhere. It looks like he will be in the hospital for a few days while they wait for lab results and to see what if any additional antibiotics are indicated.
That is all I know at the moment.
