So glad to hear that he is well enough to come home. He must be sick of hospital food by now! I hope that he recovers quickly and well.

you should consider your self very lucky mrsa is a nasty bug,with the treatment being almost as bad as the infection.its an experience you'll never forget.share your experience with others so folks remember no matter how bad things are it can always be worse.going thru staph can be a humbling experience.my memories of staph are as vivid as if i had just gone thru it yesterday.with temps up to 105.dilierium,the smell and taste of the antibiotics,the pain and constant sticking of needles,and the smell of the infection when it got so bad the bones in my feet started to disolve from the intensity of the infections and bubble up from a pin hole in my toe.all who read your story over your fight with staph can find strength from your struggle and find the strength within them selves to fight and never give up when it gets bad.when we give up the fight the struggle is over and we cease to exsist.

Elective surgery is a real risk given the high level of infections contracted in hospitals these days. Welcome home

Yes indeed. The best doctor I have ever known told me once that "a hospital is a terrible place in which to get well."
