The wounds are on the mend! Dr. Young ordered a "wound vac." This nifty contraption speeds the healing of open wounds. It works like this: a sponge is cut to fit inside each wound. The sponges are attached to a vacuum ... the vacuum creates a suction which pulls out fluids and pulls together the skin (from deep within the wound out). Within the week, no more leaky gut ... no more gaping wounds.

Overall, this was a very good day.
