From some talk with a few people, it is most likely that Katie does not have MRSA. She just has a staph infection. Which is what they told us on Wednesday at the ER, but the doc we saw on Friday felt differently. The new creams and ointment are doing wonders! Her hands feel like hands again - they are not scaly and dry, but are soft. I don't even know how long it has been that her hands have been so bad, but it's so nice to see improvement!
There are some strange bugs down here - no doubt about that. And whatever bit Katie, bit me. And I too have a staph infection. I went to the ER last night because I was just in a lot of pain and these 2 bug bites are now giant welts on my butt and stomach. They are hot to the touch and hurt like hell!!! So I decided to have them checked out. At the very least I was hoping to get a pain killer! Tylenol is not working. I actually had a fever when I went into the ER and began having chills so I am glad I went in. They put me on the same antibiotic as Katie and gave me darvocet for the pain. I am still in a lot of pain, but am confident this should go away soon.
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! I hope to post some fun stuff in the near future!
