Marshall Jones’ MRSA Story

I am so irritated today, and Marshall is just cool as a cucumber. I need to change my attitude, because it looks like we could feasibly be here for another 6 weeks. How ridiculous is insurance anyway?

Marshall is getting his regular physical therapy, and is doing very well. I am unpacking.

They came to take out Marshall’s dialysis catheter today, that is a little bit of a scary process, they make you sign a paper telling you all of the horrible things that can happen when they do this. I guess poking holes in major arteries and veins can be a problem sometimes, but today, it went just fine.

We are still cathetarizing him every six hours (well, I am–I am sure we are not getting a discount either). It’s not so bad, and really pretty easy to do. We have tested out every cathetar size in the hospital, and have found one that works without giving Marshall too much discomfort (which in turn causes ME less discomfort!).
