I'm doing better. I am at home on IVs. I have been taken off of 2 meds and only on 1 on IVs, the Vanc and one oral antibiotic, Rifampin.. Two really powerful drugs. And that will be for 14 days. The chest tube got infected with MRSA, that's what the culture showed. My sputum culture came back clear (I have no idea how). I'm so glad we caught it as early as we did. MRSA is nothing to play with. I am still sore but a lot better than I was. We deaccessed my port for a while today so I can get a break and take a real shower! Still taking pain meds but less than I started with, so that is improving. If I can just get these side effects under control it would be easier. My appetite is still low, but my weight is stable for now. Thanks for all of the prayers, they are working <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
