Marshall Jones’ MRSA Story

The new mattress showed up about 10pm last night. Hallelujah!

We managed to get him into it last night, even though he didn’t really want to move. That thing feels like sleeping on cardboard, it is definitely not the same mattress as Zoe’s, but oh well. It is firm, and that is what I was looking for. I will go get an eggshell cover, or feather bed to put on it tomorrow.

Marshall’s day was better today. I set up his first appointment with Dr. Lemos (Infectious Disease) for Tuesday, Nov. 30th at 10:15 am.

He still has a mild fever (100), and his heart rate is still high (133-143 all day). I wish I knew what was going on in his body.

Dr. Daftarian put him on phenergan 20 minutes before he takes all of his medications, in hopes that his nausea will subside.

I picked up his handicapped tags today-that is a ridiculous process that is a pain in the rump. The doctor has to write just exactly the required words on the prescription, or they will not give it to you. We had to get our prescription updated because Dr. Daftarian did not write the exact word TEMPORARY on it, rather she wrote “6 months” on it. Ridiculous. Do people fraudulently apply for those things so frequently that they have to keep them under lock and key like gold treasure? Maybe they should move that department to the bank…
