Thank you all for your messages of support. She is doing better
though it's in small increments - her kidneys seem to have started up
again and that's great. And the doctor said they know exactly what
germ caused the infection and they're treating it with the exact
antibiotic that will kill it DEAD. She's still in the ICU on oxygen
and a catheter but she's getting real food now which is another good
step. She may go to a regular room in a day or two although I'd like
to see fewer tubes etc. I brought her her mp3 player and she's
finding that relaxing.

That is so scary, and your news is so good! Staph is awful -- it's sometimes called "sterile abcess" because it is so hard to eradicate. Thank goodness for really good doctors and really good drugs!

It's a lot harder to be the one that is well, and waiting and trying to think of things to make it better, than it is to be the sick one who is busy being sick and tended to, you know. ;-)
