Man over MRSA: Victory Declared!

Well, it's official.  I took Dylan up to Loma Linda to meet with his infectious disease doctor, Dr. Bork.  She was almost gleeful when she looked through his latest lab results.  His SED rate, his white blood cell count - all perfectly normal.  Finally!  That was what we were praying for, but almost too afraid to hope for.  It is official.  MRSA lost.  Dylan won!  Yippee!

She took him off of ALL medication, gave us big hugs, and said that although she likes us, doesn't want to ever see us again.  The feeling was mutual!

We still had thousands of dollars worth of his IV meds taking up half our fridge.  We have been holding onto it "just in case...".  This picture only shows half of it.  He couldn't hold it all!

Into the trash it goes!

Bye meds.  Bye money.  Bye MRSA.

Months ago, Dr. Bork told us that someday this will all seem like just a bad dream, nothing more.  That might be coming, but right now it all still feels pretty real to me.  In time, I suppose.

The End
