What do you suggest if my son had surgery to change his baclofen pump. the incision became infected and they had to take it out.?

You have options: You should discuss the details with his Neurologist and Neurosurgeon. However, the options range from switching to oral baclofen, to perhaps replacing the pump. Sometimes different locations work well for different patients.
