More info needed: Your nephew's case sounds very complex - not something that can be sufficiently handled in this format. As he is your nephew and not your child you are going to have to rely on information provided to you by his parents. They are undoubtedly in close communication with his treating physicians and are privy to more details about his underlying condition and subsequent post-operative issues.
