Getting There...

I must start off this post by saying i am so excited how Emma's bum has started to clear up that i wish i could take a picture of it and post it. I have never been so proud of how someone's bum looks as i am of Emma's cute little tush. So, as you can tell Emma's bum, although it is still swollen and still has a few open sores on it, is drastically improved. Makenna's bum has all but cleared up and her dosage of antibiotics has been dropped. We got the culture back and it was indeed MRSA that Emma had, but of course, she had an unusaually difficult strand that didn't react to the regular antibiotics used to treat MRSA and hence she is still on these super antibiotics. Emma still has to go see the surgeon tomorrow but we are expecting him not to want to do surgery seeing how much improved her infection has gotten on the antibiotics. We saw the doctor yesterday, who is still not as enthusiastic as i am about the rash clearing, because she still feels like the infection can come back or mutate and get even stronger, plus she is not pleased that Emma still has sores and swelling and still wants to see her back in the office. The doctor also, already wrote a presricption to extend Emma's antibiotics past 10 days. So, for now we are bleaching/disinfecting ANYTHING that may possibly carry the MRSA virus on it and throwing out what we can't disinfect or bleach and we have to give Emma and Makeena their antibiotics every 8 hours until the infection is completely gone, but like i said it is getting better and we are SO looking forward to hopefully NEVER having to deal with this again. I told Emma after the heart murmur, and all the worry she's caused me over this she is NEVER allowed to get even so much as a cold again!
