To be honest it took months of oral ,topical antibotics and repeted swabs to clear i rem them sying it was larg area as was raw from the wet bed and very difficult labour and failed epi .also the epi site though disinfected became infected after so it spread under the skin .Funny thing its not in my chart nor is my birt reflected in the way it happened .

That's awful it's not in your chart about it! You had some ordeal along with labour!!!! Mind me asking was it MRSA on skin or in blood? If it does end up being MRSA can it be treated at home? I would do anything not to have to admit son to hospital again.

I was at hospital myself today so just enquired at reception about where to send complaint and ended up in meeting with Risk Manager and Nursing Manager! Everything was noted down and agreed that I will send in formal letter of complaint so I have time to write everything down. Also want to wait to send in complaint until after results are back. Bumped into one of sons doctors (an intern,and spotted the ear and throat infection) and she couldn't believe they left him home especially when he still has chronic diarrhoea and not eating! That was all I needed to hear!!!!
Fingers crossed diarrhoea stops before Friday and he starts eating again for me!!!

we were treated in hospital for aweek and then at home with repeate swabs for two monthe [it can come back so had to have sabs repeated if I got a spot or mark on my skin it was 7 yers ago so protacal brob changed now it was on the skin but i did have infected iv site from epi but they said it happened after it had sealed so not in the blood or any where else xx

Got call from hospital,the swab my gp used for sample was out of date so they couldn't test. Will need to be swabbed again.
Only catch my go is closed today and even if I go tomorrow for swab sure they're expired!!!! Dr said urgency to get swab today so could have results by Friday,if wait for gp we're looking at Mon/Tues for results.
Back to square one!!!!

Crikey you must be so frustrated and worried.

Hope you got swab sorted today and he is healing xx

Hi babeno4,got swab taken yesterday in hosp and his own dr checked him over. Taken off all oral antibiotics to ease his tummy an diarrhoea as he would have everything flushed out over gastro and antis. Got prescribed topical antibiotic to put on Iv scab and also he's developed blister on foot that got swabbed and use cream on.
I bought Aptamil milk for him to build up system again. He's doing really good now the scan isn't as swollen anymore and healing slowly,sure he's only delighted showing off his bandage!

Will have results Monday xxxx

Thanks you've been a star the past week xxxxx

Good just watch for any watry blisters or pimples any where and get them checked ,glad he is ok .the topical ntibotics are very good .

Yep they love a bandage we have to have an ever ending supply of plasters here for the cuts and grazes and just the ouches too. lol

It wouldn't be any harm to put him on the Udos Probiotic to build him back up.
