Q. I got a mrsa infection for the first time around the time I was 30 weeks pregnant, with a boil type thing on my back. It had drained and I was given antibiotics to help it go away. They were concerned that I would be kept in a contact room in the hospital, so they tested me every week to see if the infection had gone away. BUT they only swabbed my nose. My back is now find except for a hard mass under my skin that they said is just scar tissue.
I had my baby 2 weeks ago and had a c section. One of my stitches popped and started draining. I started waking up in the middle of the night shaking so hard I thought I was having a seizure. Now it's that I sweat so bad that sweat pours off my face, I'm dizzy, and I feel sick. Not to mention my incision is still draining, it hurts, and it stinks. I'm on clyndamycin, but I'm not even sure that's helping. I've been to the ER countless amounts of times, and my doctor, and none of them seem worried.
I can tough it out through this, but will I always have to be scared of having mrsa for the rest of my life? I've become an OCD mess, especially trying to stay clean around my baby. I just don't know what to do, I feel like this is hopeless.

A. Once MRSA infection is treated successfully, it can be eliminated from the system. Methicillin resistant Staph aureus does not go dormant and re-appear later on like certain viruses and bacteria do. MRSA is actually resistant to penam & cepham antibiotics including some others; however, MRSA is usually susceptible to Erythromycin, Tetracycline and Vancomycin. Vancomycin alone can be used as an alternative. If Vancomycin is used, liver function and the blood levels for achievable concentration must be monitored to avoid toxicity factor.
There is another antibiotic known as Mupirocin that is very effective against Staph aureus including MRSA; however, it is too toxic for internal use. Researches are working on it to produce a better derivative of Mupirocin after the risk of toxicity has been dealt with.
Finally, MRSA is still a nosocomial infection usually acquired from the hospital environment. MRSA has not been spread to community based medical centres or clinics (although some published data about MRSA found in community based institutions is grossly exaggerated).
Sleep well dear lady; you are going to be just fine. Best wishes for the Happy New Year 2013 to you, the baby & your family.

Help: Dogs and Children?
Q. My fiancee and I are planning to conceive around 2013, by this time, Max will be six years old, Roxy will be seven, and Sparky will be 16. We will hopefully have another dog at the time (either a Greyhound or APBT of our own).
What I'm worried about, even though our dogs are great with children, we're unsure of how they would react to a child LIVING with us, especially one thats extremely tiny and screams quite a bit.
I trust my dogs completely, I just worry how they'll react, and if it will be a good reaction. My six month old niece comes over quite often, and Max is all-too eager to greet her, and I worry his over exuberance may get him into trouble later on..?
How old were your dogs when you had your children, how did they react, and what steps did you take to introduce them?

A. Your talking almost 5 years from now! How your dogs will react will be any-ones guess but if you train them correctly and make sure they are exposed to all kinds of people then you will diminish your worry but not totally. No dog no matter how old it is should ever be 100% trusted with a small child. No matter what.
when i had my first child I had 4 golden's here with me. Each reacted differently. The one who I though would be the most distant turned out to be the most mothering to my first son. They all were very good with the new house hold member. I made sure of it.
The baby could even make a squeek with one of them coming for me to go see why it was making that noise! LOL It was really quite annoying but cute after a while. I never needed a baby monitor at all I had 4 here with me!
You should be concerned but not get to the point of worring about it just yet! My advice is to handle the situation when it arrises and then deal with it. You just dont know what the future will bring.

Third miscarriage, no children. heartbroken what's going on? :/ has anyone gone through this?
Q. Im currently having my third miscarriage. I have no children i am 23. First one was Oct 2007, Then Jan 2010 and now Jan 2013. I've been to a RE I've been tested for alot of things and they can't seem to find anything. They only found a folic acid deficiency which im taking medications for. My first two pregnancy i never saw a fetus i guess it stopped growing. then this pregnancy i saw and heart a heart beat at 6W4D. Then when i went for an ultrasound Fri there was no heartbeat and the baby measured 6W4D. I was heart broken. I don't know why this keeps happening i don't know who to turn to for emotional support. My husband is there for me but he can't relate because he hasn't gone through it emotionally. Have any of you gone through this?? Any stories anything would help Thank You!!! NO RUDE COMMENTS
A. i have been there exactly where you are. i am 23 and september was number 5 for me. they finally sent me to a specialist who same as you couldn't find anything wrong. all they can figure is that my body is releasing the hormones too early causing a miscarriage to happen. i have carried each time to 14 weeks. they suggested that next time i plan it and be monitored, take aspirin and a hormone suppository everyday for the entire pregnancy and i also won't be able to work the entire time either. i am sorry that you are going through this again. i felt so alone in all of mine, no one i know has had one and even my friends who had children didn't understand what i was going through. even my boyfriend didn't completely understand, but he has stood by my side and listened to me cry and try to give up on everything.
