Some Notes from Reenie

On October 9, Alison tested positive for MRSA.  Her most recent test was not positive.  But because she has a history of a positive result, she is in "isolation" -- all visitors are required to wear gown and gloves.  Natalie said that this requirement should have been in place since Oct. 9 (but it sounds like it has not been).

Today Alison tested positive for C-diff (a bacterial infection causing severe diarrhea when antibiotics have wiped out natural flora).  So she will be treated for that.

It seems wise for visitors to be careful about bringing food to Alison--and to check with the nurse(s) about what food is permissible -- in case that is making Alison sick (or sicker).
