Jul. 18th, 2008 06:50 amTo elaborate a bit on Starr's previous post:
She has MRSA. She was fine when she went to bed Wednesday night, woke up with a boil on her jaw Thursday morning, and got steadily sicker throughout the day. She picked me up at five, and we saw the doctor, who diagnosed her, did a culture, drew blood, shot her with antibiotics, and prescribed antibiotics. We were home by seven. She took pain meds at about 7:30, and started throwing up shortly after. By 10:15, she was still throwing up, she was cool to the touch, and she felt much, much worse, illness-wise. I called her doctor, who suspected she'd gone septic and told me to take her to either Urgent Care or the ER. Urgent Care was closed, so we hit the ER. After a short wait, we were back in a room. She's still there, and Geena's gone back to be with her (she brought me home). She's on her second IV antibiotic; she had an allergic reaction to the first. Hopefully, she will not do that with this one. The nurse (who is, btw, extremely hot) is unsure of whether she'll be admitted or not. If not, they'll be home by about 4:30 AM; if she is, then obviously she'll be staying and we'll update for her.
