Guest guest Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Tom just called me with some bad news. They've diagnosed him with a MRSA infection. This is an antibiotic resistant staph infection. I don't know if it is localized or systemic. The doctors will treat it with antibiotics. I don't know if this has been causing his other symptoms...they don't really fit a MRSA diagnosis as far as I can tell. Anyway, people will now have to wear gowns when they enter his room. I assume this means he'll be in the hospital for awhile. Ironically he probably caught the infection because he was in the hospital. I'll let you know more when I hear anything.Kathy To send a message to Tom, Kathy and family goto; http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/thomasbutler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
