His Battle with a Community Acquired MRSA (CA-MRSA) Infection and Septicemia
The last couple of days have been ok–his nausea has been better, and he seems less lightheaded to me (although he insists he still is). His sugar has been high as a kite for the last couple of days though, and his temperature is just a few points above his normal, but still well within ok range.
His back has been hurting more–he still has the lumps in his lower lumbar area, I hope this is scar tissue now, and not abcesses still.
He is still not having the urge to have a BM, and is taking Dr. Daftarian’s laxative as prescribed. His dad is still pushing the Milk of Magnesia. Maybe we will have to give it a try. Marshall isn’t too uncomfortable though.
Dr. Lemos took Marshall off of the Bactrim and Rifampin, and put him on Dynocin (Minocycline) for 6 months. SIX MONTHS. Thank God it is not expensive. I made the grave mistake of mail ordering Marshall’s entire 3 month prescription of Bactrim and Rifampin, I won’t do that this time. Pray that he reacts better to this drug. After all of this, I wonder what is going to happen if he gets an infection that needs antibiotics. Will he be breeding the resistant superbug of all time? Let’s not think about that just yet…….
