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!!!!!!!!!!!

I did it. Hope your finger is better. Blessings

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.
