Suggest Treatment For High Fever And Infection After Appendix Burst

My son has had his appendix burst and the doctors waited 5 days before they went in to remove it because he had a high fever and the infection. After appendix was removed, his lung colapsed and the fever got even higher. He was placed in the ICU for 4 days due to the colapsed lung. Now he sits in a recovery room still having difficulty breathing and the fever does not seem to go away. Its been entire month and he still has a fever and he is still in the hospital. The doctors said that he had complications and they left some puss inside because they were afraid of scaring tissue. Does this sound normal to you? I am about to hire an attorney please help!!
