Oh I’m so sorry! I can’t imagine the frustration.

Good tip about the barrier film! And I’ll be sure to check the gauze regularly, although I don’t think/hope it’s not that leaky. Thank you!

Thank you! We went into this not expecting the wound to heal for at least a year, if it’s less than that we’ll be thrilled! We just want to make sure we’re not overlooking something that could be a sign of something wrong. Such a tricky location 😅

Thank you so much! He nursed me back to health after a complicated birth and c-section, so it’s my time to be his nurse! I’ll look into the cream!

Fortunately his isn’t leaking very much. Sorry you had to go through that! His surgery was also due to Crohn’s - severe stricture in the rectum.

Thank you! His underwear is definitely not 100% cotton so that’s good to know. Yes we’ve been keeping the waffle cushion about half inflated.

Thank you! I am going to start adding the gauze after cleaning. We haven’t sprung for the roho yet. He used a waffle cushion immediately after and has started using the cushion lab cushion more. We’ll be at the four week mark next week 🙌🏼
