Hi everyone.
my 9- year old cousin (CP) just had the Baclofen pupm surgery 3 weeks ago... they've only inserted the pump in, didn't even start her on the baclofen itself.
today she was complaining of back pain and now she's hospitalized as there's an infection. she's waiting on an x-ray and getting anibiotics.

i'm very worried... :-( i'm so scared that they'll take the pupm out (if it doesn't get better)
does anyone have experience with infection? what usually happens???

any tips, information or advice will be very much appreciated.

thank you!!
Adi.
