Finally on the rebound....









So I finally found a doctor that could figure out what was wrong with me. I went back to my family practice Dr. on Monday, she took one look at me and said I'm sending you to a dermatologist and she made a phone call, I went straight over there and after looking at me for 2 seconds she said this is MERSA. She took a culture and after 3 days it came back postitive but she started me on a special antibiotic on Mon. and it was so much better in just those 3 days. MERSA ia a very dangerous staff infection mostly caught in hospitals from a person that didn't wash their hands before touching you or dirty instruments. It can also be caught in the public but since I had a c-section on Thurs. and my infection was really bad by Sunday, I caught it in the hospital. I am now in talks with them to see what they are going to cover, as far as all my medical costs, etc. Now, whenever I go into a hospital I will have to start antibiotics and be "red tagged", I guess as high risk for infection. I can't tell you how awful this experience has been and poor Claire having had so many drugs in her first 2 weeks of life. She had a photo shoot yesterday by my friend Di and they turned out so cute. Natalie, of course was there to get some photography tips and watch and she got some good one's on her camera so this is some of them. that she took.
