MRSA Question

[NanaOf8Girls]

Repost from Newly Diagnosed:
Grayson is 23 days old and had bowel surgery due to meconium illeus. She has a colostomy bag on the upper portion of her bowel and is being fed through the lower part of her bowel. She developed a fever last week which they treated with antibiotics. I was concerned because a few days before this her feeding tube was pulled from her lower bowel and had to be reinserted. She then had like a pus or something around the opening of the lower bowel. She tested postive for merca(sp) yesterday. She is no isolated from the other babies in the NICU and everyone has to wear protective clothing. They told my daughter that she possibly passed that to Grayson. I don't think that is what happened and we are now wondering if this has happened to anyone else. I am concerned that they are not following all guidelines for handwashing etc..... One nurse told me and my daughter that in the 5 yrs she has worked at the Nationwide Childrens Hosptial in Columbus OH, Grayson is the first baby born who they have known beforehand had CF. Now I am alittle worried. Should we take extra precautions for the other granddaughters?? My son's both have newborns also.

don't beat yourself up on who gave her MRSA, it is everywhere, including the hospital and the staff. Our daughter tested positive for it last year, and so far it has not affected her. There is not much to treat MRSA they may recommend IV's or bacctrim (sp. Good luck and congrats on Grayson.
