Guy I work with out at the Festival, over Thanksgiving his girlfriend contracted MRSA and lost their baby.

Then over Christmas, he got it and was in a coma for several days.

This is not to be screwed around with.

My wife got it and they were treating her for a spider bite.After a month,the sores colonized and they finally figured out what was wrong.She had to have intravenous infusions for one week,twice a day.Six in the morning and six at night.Each infusion took three hours.That was two months ago.She had to undergo bladder surgery Friday,and is in bad shape.She has developed pneumonia and not doing to well.She is a strong woman who never drank or smoked in her life.Reading this article sends me to a place I do not want to be.Guess where they gave the infusions at?The emergency room,and I was amazed at how many people were receiving the treatments.After doing some research on it,I found out that a large hospital in a city close by has an entire floor dedicated to treating staph infections.MRSA is a nasty thing to deal with.They are treating her pain with morphine and it does not seem to help the pain.I noticed today that her fingertips were turning blue which I found a little odd.Thanks to the poster of this article,and I apologize for the non paragraphs.I am not to swift at the computer stuff.
