Gavin has a nasty wound on his arm just below his elbow. It has been diagnosed as MRSA. Poor little guy is in a lot of pain. I have been having to press on it to drain it and he is on some strong antibiotics. He is doing better, but we aren't totally out of the woods yet.
Also say a little prayer that no one else gets it. I have been extremely cautious and been cleaning/ disinfecting like a mad woman. So my fingers are crossed there.
If you don't know what MRSA is, look it up and know the warning signs. My cousin's daughter had it a few years ago and it was misdiagnosed in the beginning. She ended up getting it into her blood stream and almost died.
