Taylor update

Thank you everyone....... we'll see how tonight and tomorrow AM go. Right now they are again treating her, in ISOLATION (aka I can't leave the room AT ALL), for an MRSA infection that has gone systemic (meaning it's spread throughout her body) with IV antibiotics. The infection is still spreading- so here we sit and wait. Surgery doesn't seem to be in the cards right now, but last time this happened day 3 (which is what tomorrow will be) brought that on, so I'm not too hopeful. The odd thing about it all this time around is that she is getting random spots all over her body (folliculitis) that they say is the original infection site spreading..... no one I know that seems to know anything about med. seems to have heard of that, and I can't find it on the internet at all ( GASP ;) ) !!!!!!!! But really, Taylor is doing AMAZING. Aside from the hour that they dug around all her veins in attempt to locate a blood source (SERIOUSLY PEOPLE! WE CAME TO A CHILDREN'S WARD TO AVOID JUST THAT) she's been in good spirits and is sleeping away peacefully..... don't you LOVE Benadryl????
