The abscess spread to the right side of her neck and into her chest. They've rushed her back into the OR for more surgery. She gets a visit from the thoracic surgeon, and my understanding of her surgery is that she will result in scars to match mine. We don't really have much information right now. If we remember correctly the surgeon said they'll be working on her neck to drain the abscess there and then performing a thoracotomy on her right side and VATS (video assisted thoracic surgery, what I had for my lung) on her left side. Overall this is rather serious surgery. She will probably be in the hospital for several more days. Hopefully the surgeon can clean it out safely and knock out the infection to prevent further complications.
She's in surgery right now. We don't know how long it will last.
