I wish you all the best. I know first hand how devastating MRSA can be. My mother now has a titanium cage replacing two vertabrae and titanium rods fusing the two vertabrae above and below the cage. She actually died on the operating table a couple of times (two 8 hour surgeries 24 hrs apart). She got off the Vanco IV a couple of months ago now. And is making a good recovery but she is a spunky 73. It has taken a lot out of her though. I am sure you feel the same way.
Thank you.
Oh, and prayers to your mother.
