I am concerned about her immune status if you know what I mean.
Hello Copper, I'm sorry that your family is going through this, sending out my prayers and hugs..........
I don't understand the MRSA thing though.... how does that relate to drug use? Just so I understand..... I know that 1 in 3 people carry MRSA in their nose naturally, did she have lesions or anything from drug use that the staff migrated to?
I was just curious... not that it makes any difference to you wanting prayers etc, just always wanting to learn about those kinds of things.
Blessings and prayers to you and your family.
Love,
