I got pregnant in Jan 2010 with my son Elliot, he was born on 10/3/10 at 4:32 PM.
By 7 days old he was hospitalized and released the next day. I get a call telling me he had MRSA cultured in his nose. This would be the beginning of my long battle with MRSA, something I had only heard of from people who worked in care homes. My sister had had it and it went away with vancomycin. She was working with the elderly but her's never came back after treatment.
That phone call from the Dr's office scared the living crap out of me, I was crying forever and spoke to the dr. She reassured me everyone had it in their nose.
My son turned 2 months and a bump popped up on his groin, he's hospitalized for 4 days and given many antibiotics and the dr gave us cream to put in his nose.
It goes away for 6 good months. During this time my husband has has it off and on, gets it all over all the time and has no health insurance so he suffers through it. We're OK as long as my son doesn't get it.
Well in March, my sons about 9 months he gets a stye in his eye and it grows.
Turns bad quickly, then we take him to the doctor who then hospitalizes him and a culture finds that it is MRSA. He's in the hospital for four days then comes home after having antibiotics and steroids.
It goes away and he's OK for about two months.
Then this comes alongs...
He also gets it a month later on his back and then again on his chest, then leg again, chest again.and now today he has one on his buttocks.
Not sure if I am missing any episodes but that is what I remember for now.
Now we're here, I have tried everything. I have bought UV ray light that kills MRSA.
I have used manuka honey, turmeric, probiotics, hibiclens, I bathe him everyday, I change the bedding everyday, he does not reuse clothing, he does play in dirt and he does not eat much sugar.
Now we are trying bleach baths.
