Update on brother in hospital
The surgeon finally came by and spoke to Mark. The infection in his leg is a staph infection. I don't think it's MRSA since it moves so quickly and this has been going on for a while. They are taking him in to surgery tomorrow at some point to remove the arterial graft. Nothing is really known about how it will go until they open up the spot and look. We can only hope it's fixable and Mark will recover.
I'll update as I get information.
Thanks again for all the thoughts, prayers, and well-wishes. My family needs it more than ever now.

Winnie, I had MRSA and it does not move real fast except for a certain strain. They will do a nasal or rectum test for it and if it MRSA the treatment is antibiotics along with removal of the infected area. I had three back to back surgeries for MRSA and then months later another one. Either way the infected area will be removed. Does he have any dark bruising near the infected area? if thats a sign of MRSA..nothing to be scared of just keep your faith and believe that all will be well. Sweetcakes you brother is in the master physicians hands so he will be fine
