Tonya Update # 5

The on call doctor came in today. He told Tonya if she had developed this V.R.E. (Vancomycin Resistant Enterococcus), this time last year there would not have been anything to treat it with. Our concern now is, will this bacteria mutate into something that this antibiotic will not work against later? The antibiotic she is on now is working great but who knows if it will work next time.

So far Tonya is improving and it looks like she will still get to come home on Monday as planned.

Until tomorrow, Brian
