MRSA infection : News video


I got this video from CNN website, thought that it might be interesting to post since Gerald got the same infection. MRSA is a tough bug and can be very fatal for children like Gerald's age.

Pregnant twice!? How that happened?


Amazing isn't it?

Dr. Connie Hedmark is my friend's daughter. She got this video from CNN, and sent it to me so that I can see it. And now I am posting it here for you guys to watch.

Just another day !

Last night, GJ was trying to remove the breathing tube by moving his head from side to side. He managed to detached the 02 connector (blue and white tubing). He did it couple times before the night shift ends.

Picture of GJ after they removed the staples on his chest.
I was watching the nurse practitioner cutting the staple off his chest, and every time she picked it I say "ouch" for my son's behalf.

This picture taken this morning. He was sleeping comfortably.

Today, he is doing great ( but still ventilated). He is going to have a heart catheterization its either by Tuesday or Wednesday. They also did a blood culture, urine culture , and sputum culture to test if MRSA is still present in his body. He had the temperature this afternoon that is why they did these test.
The blood culture last Saturday came back negative, so that is a good news.
Nothing is exciting happened for today as far as GJ is concerned.
