Thank God she’s okay. What were her symptoms from MRSA and what did they give her for it? Yes, it indeed sounds like scary stuff.

It was bad. Her sutures weren't healing right and the doctor didn't seem to recognize what it was. It split open the stitches and the whole thing looked like raw hamburger in a matter of a couple of days. In the hospital over a week, sepsis, the whole nine yards.

I want to say it was finally Vancomycin (or something like that?) that brought it under control. Long story...we almost sued the doctor for negligence but in the end decided against it. We did have a number of doctors tell us she is now so resistent to antibiotics she'd better NEVER go under the knife again. I don't even want to think about it!
