So, would they let you know if Kevin is a patient? Give updates?

If one of the doctors on the board could make a call, they would probably get much further than us average citizens. HIPA is such a PITA.

Hope all is well with Kevin. This is some nasty stuff to fight off.

Any update? Monday over here and hope we can get a progress report.
Dammit Kevin, put some rubbing compound on it and it will buff out!

Kevin - best of luck beating the infection. Sounds like you may have caught it early enough.
The segment on 60 Minutes last night was pretty scary. There is one antibiotic, vancomycin, that is 'the antibiotic of last resort' that seems to work. They explained that the normal pennicillin (sp) family of antibiotics is useless against this latest strain of staph. They showed a petri dish with the bactieria with circles of antibiotics, the only one that had a clear zone around it was the vancomycin. They indicated if caught early enough a topical ointment seemed to be successful, once it goes internal it was a tough bugger to beat. |

Thanks for your concerns and well wishes. I got released from the hospital Saturday and am laying low at home. This MRSA is nothing to take lightly. Although I was never really in fear of dying this IS some serious stuff to deal with. I've been told to lay low for another week and will probably only work partiall days for a while. No insurance and three weeks of Dr. bills and three days in the hospital are going to take it's toll on the checkbook soon also.
Thanks Again for all your concerns. It's comforting to know who ones friends are.

While my wife (a neo-natal intensive care nurse) and I were taking a walk last week I mentioned to her what you had been diagnosed with and she gasped. She knows quite a bit about the dangers of that strain so we talked about it for a while.
I'm glad you seem to be over the hump on this. Get well soon, Kevin. |

Hey Kevin,
I'll be around the corner from your house later this week. Any chance I could stop by for a few (minutes, not beer  ).Dave

Kevin,
Sorry to hear about your condition. Glad you are feeling better. Do I understand correctly that you apparently contracted the MRSA outside any health care environment ? Here those little buggers are primarily something you would find in hospitals.
