My wife and I both volunteer at the local Boys & Girls Club as medical guidance counselors and 30% of the kids this week are out with the flu with symptoms similar to what you described. The main concern especially if bone grafting was performed during his spinal surgery is harboring a low grade infection, thus as you know prophylactic antibiotics should be prescribed for even minor issues and before all elective procedures. Keep the electrolytes up with the Gatoraide.
