Sorry I can not keep up with everything that is going on. Steve did get out of the hospital finally after spending 10 days there. He was not happy at all but the first few day he could have cared less he felt so bad. They were finally able to get negative cultures and sent him home with a pic line in his arm to administer antibiotics. After being home several days and home health coming and drawing blood he had to stop the antibiotic. His heart enzymes were way out of range. This is why he has not felt the best. The antibiotic was too much. As of Wednesday April 6th they have stopped it and took another blood test on Friday April 8. His heart enzymes were back down by half. They are waiting until Monday April 11 to draw blood again to see if they are back where they should be. If they are the will start antibiotics again but only every other day. The next step will be to get another blood culture. If it shows positive the first thing they will do is pull his pic line since that can be a very good source of infection. We are praying that they are still negative. He is not suppose to be doing anything. Doctor says the staph he has is very serious and his body has to heal. What does that mean doing nothing. Choring, working on the tractor, tagging baby calves. I don't think so. Here is another kink in things. When in the hospital and they were checking for staph the infectious disease doctor ran a specific test on him since he is around animals all the time. He showed slightly positive. It is called Q-fever. You get it from cow, sheep or goats. Doctor said he could have had it for ten years or may have just gotten it. He wants to wait until May and do another test to see if he shows more positive. If so he will have to take a different antibiotics for that. When will things go right. Christy
