Prayer request for another little boy with MRSA

15 years ago

I got this from my niece in Tennessee...it's a prayer request from a friend of her's in her scrapbooking group. Thank God Austin's wasn't this bad. Big time prayers for this little boy! I am so terrified of this MRSA right now and hearing of so many cases of it!

Please pray for my husband, Darryl's nephew. His name is Kyle Joseph. He is in Children's Hospital with a bad case of MRSA from a mosquito bite. He is four!

They have drilled 4-5 holes in his leg and vacuumed 1 liter of infection out.

They then ran gauze through like stitching and pulled it through. They are trying to get it under control so as to not have to amputate.

Please pray for him and his family. Thank you!

You know I asked for an epi-pen for him today and the dr told me he didn't need one. If you could just see the little guy. It was a terrible reaction so I thought for sure he would need a pen but she said no??? Leaves me questioning if we need another dr. Vicky

Iris. Hailey just beautiful. Pet owners sure do go thru much pain and sorrow along with the joy. I'm sorry you lost your lovely girl. ((((HUGS)))) I've never lost a pet since Lil is my first but just the thought is painful. Iris, I'm one of those that don't share my feelings irl. Seems it's much easier in the forum. I have had dramatic things happen in my life but I'm not really a dramatic person although I suppose with my sharing at the forum it probably appears I am. Lol. Desertsteph...LOL at the nurse. I have raised three boys..my adult sons.....need I say more. LOL when my Michael was 12 he climbed a fence at my sister's cutting his hand and ended up with a boat load of stitches. Two days later he was running around our back yard when the neighbors dog came charging biting him in the leg...more stitches and a drainage tube. ...that same day he was running down the steps fell off of one measly step and broke a leg..same leg as the dog bite. They cut a window in the cast. Oh my yep it was always something. I do certainly have drama in my life..who doesnt. Lol

You got it! Prayers said before typing response- and more will certainly follow. I can only imagine what that poor little tyke and his family are going through.

I thought the medical profession gotten a 'handle' on this dreadful stuff with no idea until recently that it's still rampant- but posters here have sure shown me differently.

Said a prayer for Kyle. I heard that there are several staph infection cases in one of our local hospitals right now. This is getting scary.

I am so glad I didn't get this email from her before Austin got better. I would have had a nervous breakdown! This little guy has it alot worse than Autin.

Austin is coming home tomorrow. We thought he would come home today but his back was still tender in one spot and the doctor wanted to keep an eye on it for one more day. They had to re-do his IV last night and now it's in his arm with a board taped to it so it's stiff. He can't bend his little arm and he is mad about it! I can't wait for tomorrow when he is home!

That is so scary that something like that could happen from a mosquito bite. Saying a prayer for little Kyle.

So sorry for this little boy and his family. Hard to imagine, what they are going through. I also have a grand daughter that same age and can't imagine a little one going through such a thing. When things seem to be so bad in our life at times we need to stop and think about how fortunate we are when we think of what this family is going through.
My thoughts and prayers are with this family.
