It's the Bug that Never Ends

Sorry all, I took some time to sleep in this morning. I'll have two morning updates, this first one is from the same guardian of TJ that I quoted yesterday:

We're here in the room with [TJ].

The Docs here in Bangkok are saying [TJ] should plan for a two week stay before they would certify him as 'fit to fly'. [Name withheld] came to the hospital this morning and went over ALL medical files with the Thai Doc. She was very impressed with the quality of the care.

A couple of things came out this morning. First, [TJ] would never have made it to the states. He would have died enroute and all the Docs agree on that. Second, while he is now stable, the MRSA is back and they are throwing antibiotic cocktails into him hoping that something gets it. The first of the dozen or so blood cultures comes back this afternoon. These are hoping to identify the specific culprit in order to try to design something to kill it. It just goes latent in the body until a trigger sets it in motion like yesterday.
This email mostly speaks for itself. I cannot believe TJ came down with MRSA again. If you recall from last year, many people carry it rarely actually develops into an infection. You would be surprised at all the gross and nasty things your mouth carries in it. The odds of it developing twice in TJ are extremely slim, almost nil, as the antibodies should have been built up.

I'll update again when I know more. MA should be arriving in about 15 minutes according to NWA.com

It's time for the bug to die and leave his body. We pray Lord your healing blood over TJ's body mind and spirit. We declare the work of the cross is complete. We declare by His stripes the MRSA, Pneumonia and all other sickness must bow. We speak it forth in Jesus' mighty name and ask that You release Your healing power.

In the throne room for you all.

Amen to the prayers. I have read and heard much about wild oil of oregano from the Caspian Sea combined with olive leaf extract to help fight mersa and other resistant bacteria . bioInnovations.net (1-888-442-5150) has the liquid and gel caps . If the antibiotics are not working fast enough these strong natural substances will not mess with anything the doctors are giving him. Other natural agents are caprilic acid and also Noni juice for the pain. Mega doses of good bacteria (pro-biotics) also helps fight reinfection and or secondary infections.
May The LORD Jesus our chief doctor always be present in His room guiding all involved.
