She had to be on antibiotic iv therapy for a week in the hospital. Then she was sent home with one called R....something. Makes your tears and pee red and they also give it for tb. The other was Bactrim.
She's on Bactrim now because this last time on Sunday night, her stomach which had a hard knot in it, burst open and she felt a little better because it was draining again. Monday the doctor took a swab and we'll find out probably tomorrow if she should change medications. The infectious disease specialist said the MRSA is hiding and if she gets really ill, they may need to remove the screen it's behind. If they do, the MRSA may spread.
He did advise her to lose some weight so he can do the surgery safely.
