My wife had open surgery on 5-9, wound opened on 5-18, dr. keeps reopening it at 2 we

My wife had lap rny 5-8, emergency open surgery on 5-9 to fix nicked bowel, the open incission opened at 1 stitch on 5-18 and it just will not close, the skin layer is healing but dr. keeps reopening it at dr. visit because the lower layers are still open and draining. he has done this 3 times the last 2 removing stitches from the lower layers, my concerns are that he has not done any culture on the drainage to check for infection and my wife has been out of work going on 9 weeks now with no end in site (dr. reopened wound this afternoon) and my wifes job disability won't run forever, and one know of similar circumstances, has anyone gone back to work with a wound draining?
