Hey Zak, sorry to hear you're still in the hospital! Sounds like things are moving in the right direction with the infection starting to recede. That gushing liquid sounds pretty unpleasant though, glad the nurses were able to get it under control.

It's great that Claire and the kids came to visit. Family visits always help lift spirits when you're feeling under the weather. I know how much you miss being home, so hopefully they'll release you soon.

Get some rest and let those antibiotics work their magic! Thinking of you and sending healing vibes.
