The Story of the Staph...

.
August 5th ....  

We've been back from the Doc for a few hours. Not such great news. Seems Nathan has a Staph/MRSA infection around his Mic-Key Button. They are treating him for the MRSA just to be safe, though that isn't a confirmed thing. He just doesn't want him to suffer longer incase it is. Scary

August 6th ...

Nathan's first dose of antibiotics, followed by a couple tablespoons of live culture yogurt. This is what his Doc wanted us to do because he is being treated for the staph/MRSA very aggressively is killing of both the good and bad bacteria.

August 7th ...

Getting his yogurt in him...  
Nathan is eating! See it's going through his mouth! Lol

Staph still getting worse. May go back in tomorrow (or try) to make sure it's okay. At least call, if it's still like this... We were doing his yogurt bolo ... He hates yogurt. Prayers, positive thoughts, healing vibes, whatever you believe in we'd appreciate

August 8th ...

Nathan's Staph Infection is still getting worse which - after only a couple days on the meds - could be expected. But .... Ugh. The pictures with the tape measure were taken today. Appointment with the DR tomorrow morning just to check in because it is still getting worse.

August 9th ....

Nathan's Staph infection is actually looking better this morning - HOWEVER ... now, it's BLEEDING....... what the heck???? I don't know if it's his G-Tube site bleeding or the Staph infection because it's one and the same, but it's not just a little tinge of blood, it's a bit. So we're going to keep our appointment to see the DR at 10:20 just to make sure everything is okay. Originally we were going to cancel it if it was looking better this morning.

Just got back from the DR and he says he's happy with the way things are going and he thinks that the bleeding is coming from some Granulated Tissue  So ... yay for healing!

August 10th ...

Just finished up Nathan's meds & yogurt ..... first I got meds all over cuz I left the other port open... THEN I got water all over because there was some clumps of yogurt clogging the tube and I had to use some water in the med port to put some pressure through the tube in order to clear out the tube and like an idiot ... well, lets just say I ended up giving myself a bath. Good times. But it's done. He isn't feeling well today but it is DEFINITELY looking better ... less red and less area covered....

....... and that night was leading into a whole other nightmare......
