Re: Staph infection questions

October 31, 2002

Jen ( mom to ),

As a parent who has been there and done that I believe I could answer that

question.

My father in law who had a staff infection was contagious until the Dr. done

blood work and the infection was no longer showing in his blood work. If you

don't know where this infection originated from then I'd keep a person with

CF away from the staff infected person. That is the advice we received from

our Dr. A person with CF could get MRSA along with the infection depending on

different scenarios. MRSA I believe is non eradicating therefore leaving the

CF person to live with it while the non CF person gets rid of it and

continues on with their normal lives.

If you sense a bit of sadness in this post then you're right on. My father

in law doesn't care what he has as long as he can see his grandchildren. He

DOES NOT care his at ANYTIME when he coughs and I'm the bad guy for not

wanting my kids to go anywhere or do anything with him. Not covering his

mouth has been brought to his attention by me on a number of occasions but it

doesn't seem to sink in.

I'm glad I have this support group cause there is no one else who understands

like you guys do.

Rosemary,

Maybe you and I could go to counseling together! I'm a shop a holic also and

I go to the grocery storer about every other day and can spend at least 50.00

everytime. I lust can't help myself:)
