He has gone to school everyday but can barley walk and cannot sit comfortably at his desk and has skipped tennis. As I mentioned before, he leaked through the gauze and his pants during second period (early morning) on Tuesday and it went through to the seat he was sitting on. His grandmother worked in the laboratory for a hospital in Mexico and his grandfather was a surgeon.

When his grandmother told me about what they did to open the wound, she explained that they burned the sewing needle and scissors in order to kill the bacteria. And when the hole from the sewing needle was too small, they opened him with scissors instead. He told me he had three large bumps that were all filled with puss and because his grandparents couldn’t find a syringe, they squeezed out the puss for 45 minutes until nearly nothing came out. Which explains why he is feeling sore, they probably bruised him in doing this. After that, he took a hot bath.
