Hi joreunhaz,
Thank you for your question. We hear this question quite a lot, but the best guidance is to call the surgical team at the hospital to ask. Were you given a contact number when your son was discharged?
The situation is slightly different for everyone, so it's best to get advice from a medical professional who is involved in the treatment.
I hope this helps,
Best wishes,
Headway.
