ON Monday Mike called and said he has MRSA. On Wednesday at 5:15 Mikey let us know that he has some "surgical" procedures. It was pretty bad, several absesses and very painful. I drove up Wednesday night, I left about 6:15p . iT took me 6-1/4 hours to get here.
He is using crutches to get around and is seeing the trainer everyday and has access to the doctor right at the university. There are quite a few web sights about MRSA if you are curious. It is a staph infection, a "superbug" that is resistant to antibiotics. It is a royal pain to deal with.
I have been cooking, cleaning, providing taxi service and keeping him company. He has missed a lot of school this week and needs to do a lot of homework. I am going to help him with that tomorrow.
We found out tonight that the cultures they took on Wednesday were not responsive to the meds in the LAB so after 5 days of one antibiotic he is going to another one.
Anyhow, all prayers are appreciated.

Thanks! I don't have your email addresses while I am away from home. I use my gmail account when I have my laptop. If you happen to look here again, you might see this.....
