I Have Good News!

I breathed a breath of relief a little while ago! The Dr said that my finger is HEALING!!!!!!! He said that he was just going to let it do it's thing. Then he said,"whatever you are doing is working." I thought..."what I am doing is PRAYING, having lots of people PRAY for me, and taking my medicine." Thank you again for praying for me and my family!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Continue to pray that my finger will be normal and infection free very soon.
I am just soooo thankful to have my finger and hand and arm. I just feel like a new woman now!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi! I am so happy to hear that your finger is getting better. That must have been very scary for you.

I have a 3 1/2 year old son who has had several MRSA infections. The first episode, we and his doctors thought it was a tick bite. It appeared as a nasty white pimple with a large red ring. It worsened and finally we tested it for MRSA (acronym for Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus - In other words resistant to the first antiobiotic Methicillin )and it came back positive. He was treated with antibiotics and Bactroban. It went away. A few months later it appeared again and again we treated it. We then decided it would be best to see an Infectious Disease doctor who went about treating the infection a little differently and who calmed our nerves and answered our many, many questions and concerns. It has again appeared this past month and we only hope and pray that it goes away forever this time or becomes less virulent. MRSA is very difficult and a real pain in the neck. It has primarily appeared on his tush or thigh. It has made me completely crazed and scared. But, as his ID doctor has said "it is just a pain in the neck". We are so careful with our son and we cannot even imagine where he picked this up. Our ID doctor said that children prone to dry skin/ eczema are more prone to MRSA infections.

Sorry for such a long note, but I kind of feel alone in dealing with this. I have never met anyone else with this type of infection.

I hope and pray that you continue to heal. Thank god you were on top of the infection.
So happy you are feeling much better!
Oh I am so glad to hear your finger is doing better.

I just went through the same thing. I had my Thyroid taken out about 1 year ago,well come to find out I got Staph from that surgury.Anyway, I got an infection in my breast scared me to death. Well, they put me on antibotics I went back to the doctor 4 days later and he said whatever you are doing is working. My response..PRAYING. Isn't God great!! I am so glad you are okay I know how scary that is.

I have been out of commission the last few days, so I had no idea you had been so sick. I am glad things are looking up. I will keep on praying and asking for complete healing for you and your fam. Sick babies are such hard work and are so pitiful. Bless your heart.

Complicated

Maybe I am wrong, but I don't remember life being so complicated when I was in middle school. Everything is so competitive now.  Maybe it was back then and I just didn't realize it. Sarah Kate started playing city league softball a couple of weeks ago.   We've been encouraged to get her private batting lessons. When I was in third grade I started playing softball and I just did it for fun!  No stress at all, as far as I can remember!  I just played.  I wasn't very good, but I liked it! Ha! Emily started band this year!  Before school started, I got a letter from the school district strongly encouraging "your band student to take instrument lessons."  WHAT?  I bought into it and got Emily private clarinet lessons (which she really enjoys)! But, what happened to learning as you go?  I never thought about taking private trumpet lessons when I started band. It seems like most parents are striving for their child to be THE BEST.  I guess that's a go

Something Good to Eat

Ever since Steve and I started dating, when we would go to Mississippi, his aunt would make the BEST ROAST IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! Steve's Dad's side of the family gets together at his Granny's house for lunch every Sunday after church. The food is always sooo good!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always taken a liking to his Aunt Judy's roast. It really is the best roast I have ever had. When we were there on Labor Day weekend, my sister in law asked Aunt Judy for the recipe. Aunt Judy began naming all the ingredients. She said Ranch Dressing mix, and I bugged my eyes out and nearly chocked. I HATE RANCH DRESSING. I don't even like to be in the room with it. I had to focus on the word MIX....not the mayo and butter milk and sour cream that you add to it. Just typing those words makes me shudder. The recipe sounded awful as she rattled off the ingredients, but I promise, you have got to make this if you like a good roast. Trust me on this. Here it is: Get a tender chuck

Life in Pictures!

Emily is enjoying her first year in band.  I am very impressed with her playing skill! Sarah Kate was recently awarded the empathy award at her school.  She is very deserving of this! Here we are before the Cotillion Holly Ball.
