My daughter’s MRSA remission ended last week with the eruption of a huge boil on her upper thigh. I took her to the same ER I took her to a year ago when she had her first outbreak, when they diagnosed her with spider bites. We were curious how much more they knew about CA-MRSA by now.
Her boil had to be lanced, drained and packed and she screamed like I’ve never heard during the procedure. After the doctor was done we asked if they were seeing others with CA-MRSA now and he said that he had three in the waiting room right then with boils that needed lanced and that he sees at least one every day. That is how much this disease has spread in the Omaha area in just the last year.
It is wonderful that enough doctors her know about CA-MRSA now so we can get better treatment but it6 is definitely frightening how quickly it is spreading and still not a word about it in our local news. I guess I’ll keep telling them about it until they decide it is a timeworthy story!!!!
