It really is a small, small world and we all have to pull together in times of need. Its how our race will survive. Plus I just looooved that yarn. It was dam softee and purty on the eyes. I could not decide on a color (each have meanings), went looking for green, but found this. It has several of the colors I thought would help you and BJ: RED – love, strength, warmth, energy, vigor, courage PINK – compassion, sensitivity, warm-heartedness, nurturing ORANGE – vitality, strength GREEN – healing, hope, renewal, confidence, life PURPLE – spirituality There are many other colors with meaning, but I kinda felt like it was fate when I saw that color mix on the shelf. Enjoy it. You are quite welcome. It really is a small, small world and we all have to pull together in times of need. Its how our race will survive. Plus I just looooved that yarn.

Both are the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus - a bacteria that lives in the sinus passages of roughly 50% of the population all the time. It's only when it gets where it is not supposed to be that it becomes a problem. MRSA is methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus - which is a bit of a misnomer, because it is usually multiply-drug resistant. MRSA used to be an exclusively hospital-acquired problem, but it is in the community now. I have seen MRSA infections in shaving nicks on healthy teenage girls. It can still be treated - it's just trickier. Yeah, okay, the last thing you probably need is a lecture in infectious disease, but I am just one of those folks who deals with stress through research. It's probably why I do what Ido for a living. Oh - BTW, MRSA is just a particular strain of Staph.

My son Ben has been trached for about seven years now. Every hospital visit he's had (lost count a long time ago) shows a positive MRSA culture in his trachea. No big deal. It just requires the nurses and docs to take extra precautions in cleanliness while he's in there. What Robbin said about MRSA. My son Ben has been trached for about seven years now.

But hopefully it will not come to that. Vanc is not a pretty drug - but it is the last line of defense. Sometimes antiobiotic "cocktails" will work. Let the Docs worry about it. You have a lot of other things to focus on, and everything is looking so much better. Vancomycin or Targocid. But hopefully it will not come to that.

We went through a similar situation this summer in my family and this is just bringing me right back there. I have a shawl like that, given to me when I went into rehab. It meant the world to me and two months later I was able to give it to my mom. The staff at the hospital kept it with her as often as they could, even in the ICU, and it was an amazing moment a few weeks ago when she told me that she felt like she could give it back to me. I'm praying for you and your family. I came here from a link on another site and I’ve been reading all your posts, trying to send as many good thoughts and prayers as I can.
