Hello all,

Thanks everyone, The latest phosphate came 0.38, PH came normal and other electrolytes are going back up.

Andy,

I did take up the source of Staph in hospital with the senior resident. They are now looking to see if the staph was on her skin and when Milton District Hospital took the blood on Saturday, they contaminated the sample with staph. Good thing is that McMaster took their own samples as well, so they are waiting to see the results for that. This is a very good catch and I am hoping it comes true. If that is the case than CDC (Canadian Disease Control) should check Milton District Hospital.

Zaini, Sharmin, Peatree Girl,

Thanks for your help, we do hope everything clears up soon. BTW sick kids finally had a contact with McMaster and now they are looking at things from different angle. They are now looking to get her phosphate at 0.7 level and leave it there for now.

Finally some relief as she started to eat today, she ordered the pizza and toast. Keeping the fingers crossed.

Sharmin:
Canadian Family,

I am so glad to hear that things are beginning to look up for our angel - we have all been praying for her to get better.  Thank you so much for updating us - we are constantly thinking of you.  Hopefully the sample was just contaminated and she doesn't have the infection.  Please let us know when you hear anything. 

Love to our little one  :hugfriend :hugfriend  and god bless,

Sharmin

Hi all,

So the good news is that she did not had the staph, the sample was contaminated through skin. The infection was not a severe one,the IV is coming off and the antibiotic will now be administered through mouth. She is back to normal eating, the muscles are sore so she has a problem balancing her, she is moving out of isolation and going to the playroom to be assessed for movements. If everything is fine with movements then perhaps she would be discharged end of day today or tomorrow morning at the latest. Will update later.

Thank you everyone for your prayers.

Andy Battaglia:
Well, that is a huge relief! Antibiotic-resistant staph infections are becoming more common and hospitals are the leading source of infection. Staph in the blood culture raised all sorts of alarms and it is wonderful news to hear that it isn't so. Looking forward to your daughter regaining her strength and getting back into her daily routines.
