MRSA Pneumonia survivor   Message List

Re: MRSA Pneumonia survivor

I must have missed your posting about the Pneumonia.

My daughter had hospital acquired MRSA Pneumonia and survived (barley!). She also had toxic shock syndrome and was hospitalized for a month.

She was 3 years old at the time. The doctors had to operate and cut off a third of her infected lung.  She was also treated with drugs for a month or so afterwards. This was about 4 years ago.

She is doing great and the MRSA has never returned.  They must have removed every last bit of the MRSA. Her lung has expanded and she is like any other normal child (though she is the loudest – but that’s probably because she is a red head!).

 

I posted photos of her in the hospital a while back in the photos section:

Stay well,

 

Effi
