Sigh. Sniff. Giggle and MRSA
So I just wanted to say thank you to all my ep buddies and your great comments and support. I actually cried reading them last night (maybe I'm PMSing). Then I laughed- you girls are awesome and brits are funny if I may say so!
Today was a way stressful day. We got a call from DD4's doctor saying that her bloodwork came back positive for MRSA. I started freaking out! We had him test some sores on her fingers that we thought were ingrown fingernails, but that was 3 weeks ago and he gave us an antibiotic for that. he said that if the infection did not clear up to call him back. Well with the antibiotic the infection cleared right up so we didn't call him. And he didn't call us so we thought that all was well until today.
SO I took her in and he was shocked that the infection had cleared up. He said that the antibiotic he gave us shouldn't have killed MRSA, so he thinks that her body is killing it on its own. He gave me a perscription for a shampoo and now I have to clean the house top to bottom and get her new towel and sheets (he said I could just wash mine, but I am not taking any chances). I am just peeved that it took three weeks to tell me this and she is not contagious now, but was 3 weeks ago. So now I have to try to think of all the places she was 3 weeks ago and let those people know. Of course he told me that it was just in her hands and it can only be transferred if there are open sores, but I still think that I should tell people. Plus, she is going to have this until she doesn't whatever that means. I am thankful though that it is not as bad as some of the MRSA cases I read about while I was freaking out this morning.
I did not do so good on the diet today. I am an emotional eater and dd wanted a happy meal so we went to Mcdonalds and I told her that if she was good I would get her ice cream after the doctor so we had ice cream cones after. Tomorrow will be a better day.
