Staph is not a bacteria that they worry to much about in fact some people

don't even treat it if they are not showing any symptoms. Ask Torsten about it

Hi Katy,

when you go to the files-section of our list's homepage you'll find some

interesting info about staph in the research file. Fiona cultures for staph

for more almost six years now and she is doing very well. We treat it with

oral antibiotics when she coughs too much. Usually that happens three months

after the last course, so Fiona gets antibiotics four times a year.

Hope you and your brother will get better soon!

Peace

Torsten, dad of Fiona 6wcf and Sebastian newborn wocf

Piper's cultures are back..

> Well as if my week couldn't get any worse (I had surgery on Wednesday, and

recovery hasn't been a bed of roses, Wednesday night my brother-in-law had a

4-Wheeler wreck and broke his femur in 2 places, they had to put a rod in

his leg on Thursday, I am having to be totally dependent on everyone for

everything, I can't even talk or pick up Piper) so anyway to top all this

off her doc called me to tell me that her throat swab cultured staph, he put

her on oral antibiotics for 6 weeks, but I am scared. What does this mean?

Does it mean that the staph is just in her throat or is it in her lungs too?

What kind of damage can it do? Sorry for all the questions, but I am really

concerned about this, and since I have no voice I can't exactly call and ask

them.
