Bugs

Dan has not been very well today, he has had a temperature and been crying alot when his analgesia has wore off. When he has had paracetamol or brufen he has been smiling and playing but is really not himself. His gastric losses have doubled and are yellow instead of green. He is still in oxygen so he had a chest x-ray taken as he is usually in air and the consultant on today felt after looking at this that it would be good for Daniel to be on anti biotic which worries me alot because I was told the x-ray was fine by another doctor.

When Dan first was colonised with MRSA the doctors felt it could have been down to all the anti biotic that he has been prescribed and so he was taken off his regular one because it was potentially making way for the MRSA to cause infection. It was then felt that the MRSA could not be treated because it can not be cured and because it is only resistant to some anti biotic. I was told today that the anti biotic Dan has been put on will cover the MRSA so now I am very very confused and concerned for Dan and find it hard to trust anyone to the do what is best for him.
