Will has had a minor setback.

His incision on his chest is infected. The infection, like Dr. Bove had feared, came from his trach. It's nearly impossible to prevent this because the incision is so close to his trach site. The attending docs said they want this infection completely cleared before he is sent back to Vandy... they want to make sure this infection doesn't get worse and get in his bloodstream or cause Will any life-threatening problems.

They have put Will on some powerful antiobiotics, but it could take up to 10 days before it is cleared. So, at the very earliest we will be back in Nashville the week after next.
