Just my opinion. He needs to continue to go to the dr. Staph of any kind is nothing to mess with, it must be taken care of. I know nothing about this 'new staph" except what I have read. I did have a staph infection behind my heart in 1990-in the hospital 2 wks. and off work for 3 months-! Told I got it because my hands were dry and cracked I I had picked it up shopping. Lost my taste and sense of smell completely. I would think they would move him or at move or throw out his nasty roommate. My AH contracted a staph infection in prison (a brand new one under construction) 4 yrs. ago and after 2 months of treatment is was cured. He simply needs continued medical treatment!!!!!!!! With any luck they will find it it is easy to treat. Not all staph infections are the "new scarey" one. Praying for your son and your family. LOL
