Question

[amber682]

Ok, so my son is 2, he has CF. His friend (no CF) is having his 2nd birthday party this weekend. I just found out today he has been in the hospital since Monday with what his dad called a staph infection. I don't know any other details about it, except that he caught it from his father who had a few areas of skin that apparently were infected with staph.

Of course I'm concerned that if they still have the party (they're supposed to because they're being discharged tomorrow) that my son maybe should not go? I don't know if it's staph aureus or MRSA, just that it's serious enough to put him in the hospital for 4 days. I plan on calling his mom and seeing how he's doing, I wonder if there's a few questions I should ask her (like if it's MRSA and where this staph infection is). I wonder if I should just not go, Vinny is young and wouldn't even know he's missing anything, but I know he's have a lot of fun if we went.

So what do you guys think? Should we be concerned? Should we stay home or should I just see how his friend is doing first? And if I do keep Vinny home, will it be safe for me and the hubby to stop by for awhile with his present (maybe just no hugs?)

My vote would be not to go. I think it's ok for you or your husband to stop by with a present.

Hi Amber, i too have a young child with cf she is 2 1/2yrs old. We have missed many birthday parties due to children with a flu attending the party, so Staph would be a BIG no no, for us.

I am not too sure how a non cf got Staph from his had, i didn't think that could happen ( i may be 100% wrong), but the fact that a non cf'er got it, i would imagine your little man would be at a much greater risk of getting it.

Hope this helps.

As for one of you going there to give a present, i think that is fine. Just make sure to wash your hands before handling Vinny.

Take care

Its me again.

I went back to read what i wrote, and i kind of feel like a hypocryt sp?.

The reason being, we go to clinic every 2nd month and our daughter plays with the toys at cf clinic that other cf children are playing with. She also interacts with other CF kids.

I have tried so many times to stop her, but how do you tell a child not to talk to and/or play with another child. I have mums look at me like im weird, and it makes me feel uncomfortable.

They all seem to be ok, with the fact that their children are playing together and in my eyes it seems so wrong. I mean i have only just let go the last 2 visits, otherwise she has been strapped in her pram reading books and playing with her own stuff. But now, its just way too hard to stop her.

Sorry for the rant.

I don't know what esle to say, its hard no matter what you do. You just cannot escape.
