Hi All,

I just wanted to add a bit to this. I have recently started working in an

assisted living home where 2 of the residents have MRSA I became concerned

about it because not only do I have a 17 yr old son with CF but I also have

a husband that has just finished 8 months of Chemo Therapy, Needless to

say I was worried about what I could bring home to both of them. Well DJ

(my 17 yro w/cf ) already has MRSA and they told us to be careful with my

husband and not to let him take care of the waste basket that DJ puts his

tissues in and not to be in the room where he does his treatments and to be

sure to cover his mouth when he coughs. The main thing is good hygiene you

must wash wash, wash your hands. And for me I must wear gloves when

working with these people.

I would also like to add this, DJ is pursuing a career in Nursing he

starts this fall in collage and will be in the nursing program next

fall. He had asked his doc if do this would be a problem and his CF doc

said this to him....the only thing I can see is you not working with other

CF kids or with cancer patients and that makes since so he has changed from

wanting to be a pediatrics nurse to wanting to be a traveling nurse where

he can make big money :) and go all over the world. on that one we will

just wait and see what his own health brings but it is a good out look i

think. and I wish him all the best in anything he chooses to do as he is a

fighter and will not let this disease get him down

hugs
