About 9 months into our MRSA saga, my 3 year old asked me a question. We were on our way home from church and she said, "Mommy, is God merciful?". I said, "Yes, honey, He is merciful." She had a puzzled look on her face as she stared blankly out the window. "God has MRSA too?" she said. So, this has now become our new phrase for when one of us has a breakout....that we are "MRSA-ful".

IF YOU ARE NEW...
Start at "How it all started" in the archives, February 21, 2008. This post starts telling the story from the beginning.
WARNING:
I AM NOT A DOCTOR. THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE. I'M JUST PROVIDING MY STORY AS A MEANS OF HELP FOR OTHERS GOING THROUGH THIS.
WARNING:
In order to show people all the different ways MRSA has shown itself in our family, I will be posting some pictures. I have not taken pictures of the pus, because it's really gross! It's amazing how much pus comes out of these things! It's unreal! Every time I can't believe it!

Our MRSA Story....
I've been thinking about starting a blog about our MRSA journey for a while now. For one, I hope that perhaps our journey will help others suffering with this infection. And, since there has been so many twists and turns along this road, it will help me keep track of all the details over the last year. So I will be using this blog as a way to keep records of our MRSA. I will start with where we are now and then back up and tell our story from the start in the spring of 2007.

MRSA, as we've seen it...

Key figures for phage therapy at the Phage Therapy Center in Georgia:
Source: Polish Academy of Sciences
Institute of Immunology and Experimental Therapy
Centre of Excellence since October 2002
Results of bacteriophage treatment (1307 cases)
1307 patients with suppurative bacterial infections caused by multidrug resistant bacteria of different species were treated with specific bacteriophages (BP). BP therapy was highly effective; full recovery was noted in 1123 cases (85.9%). In 134 cases (10.9%) transient improvement was observed and only in 50 cases (3.8%) BP treatment was found to be ineffective. The results confirm the high effectiveness of BP therapy in combating bacterial infections which do not respond to treatment with all available antibiotics.
2311 out of 2433 bacterial isolates(95%) of Staphylococcus were sensitive to the set of phages.
Typical cost:
Out-patient care: $2,500.00 - $7,500.00
In-patient care: $5,000.00 - $20,000
Normally, it can take up to 4 weeks from receipt of your samples and reports to complete our laboratory analysis.
So, it's not cheap (although cheap compared to hospital stays), and the logistical process can take a month or more. However, it has a high success rate and is essentially a cure, not just a management treatment.
