All very helpful information. So far he has not had any fever or discharge. They finally called me today from Home Health. Question: when using the wedge, should I keep the wedge in place or move it from underneath him every 2 hours?

Mobility is important. Nursing recommendations are to change positions every two hours for bedridden patients, however, in your son’s case you might want to ask the home health nurse for advice. Also, depending on the wound, sometimes it’s recommended to air out the wound at times( again it depends on the treatment plan.
