MRSA

As bad as I have been feeling lately about life in general, it has all been put on hold. Yesterday I won the "bad mother of the year" award. I had been putting stinkin' benedryl on a bump on DD's leg for a week now. Yesterday the bump grew, swelled and exploded. Do you know what it was...................STAPH infection!!!! The doctor actually said MRSA! She ended up having to be cut open last night to have the crud removed. I am still in shock! That stuff can kill you!!!! I am scared to death now that it is somewhere else inside of her and she is going to get sick, and sicker and die! All because I was too consumed by my own self pity to notice the bump was changing. Talk about a wake up call!
