Kimberly...I am really sorry about all this...Just remember there's always light after the dark tunnel...I am keeping you and your hubby in my prayers and hopes he gets well soon

I feel so bad for your hubby. A couple years ago my sister kept getting staph infection, and no matter what they did it kept coming back. Finally she went to an infectious disease specialist and I don't think she's had it for awhile, so maybe that's something to consider, or at least when he gets insurace as well...I know how that is too unfortunatly. You guys are in my prayers for both!

Sometimes doctors (like hospitals) have two fee schedules, one for insured people and one for those who are not insured. It would sure be worth checking into!

Oh, they know...but it's all about the all mighty $$$!!!

He'll be in my prayers. I've been seeing a lot about staph on the TV and two kids in the local school system were just diagnosed.

Kimberly,

I'm so sorry your family is going through this! I contracted MRSA staph in the incision site when I had aortic valve replacement last May. We fought it - in hospital and out, on very strong IV antibiotics - for three months. I was in hospital four times in three months. Each time we thought we had it licked, it would rear its ugly head. It's very nerve-wracking. I worried about my family contracting it, and about killed us with bleach! lol Yes, staph (even MRSA staph) colonizes on all our skin. If immune stystems are healthy, and we're not compromised in some way (surgery, or a cut where it can get inside), we go along just fine. Staph is everywhere - so the Infectious Disease team tells me

I read through this post rather quickly and may have over looked it, but the easiest way to stop a staph infection is with simple handwashing. Just like life, germs-infection have a cycle that they go through. If you want to break the cycle you have to take something out of it. Hand washing does just that. It does not have to be with super hot water or anti bacteria soap. Use warm water and any soap,,,the trick is to use fricition when washing your hands and letting the water run down your wrist to your finger tips. Oh yea don't forget to sing your ABC's when you wash your hands. If you wear fake nails or a lot of polish germs tend to live under them...so if your nurse comes up with the best nails you have ever seen make sure she washes her hands and puts on gloves before even touching you. Thats my advise,,,,and take all of your antibiotics....

Hey Kim this is the first I am seeing this. I hope everything is going ok.

I know insurance rates are crazy!!! I work for an ins co and its high just for me.

We are keeping you and your family in our prayers!

This reminds me of my sister....she too had a staph infection that stuck around for 2 years. They tried everything to get rid of it. She finally went to an infectious disease specialist. The only way to rid her of the infection was to give her an IV drip in her arm for 6 WEEKS....she had to give herself the meds through the IV twice a day for 6 weeks. The staph infection has been gone since then...this was this past June.
I hope your husband finds some answers soon!!! Has your insurance been gone for more than 30 days? If not, you can reinstate it.
