A Different Approach...

So...Lexi did not have an intestinal infection!  Thank you Lord!!!!!  They have started her on two antibiotics that she has never been on before; Refampin and Zyvox.  These are usually used to treat staph....so we are hoping it will attack her ORSA.  The side effects and schedule are grueling...more so than most antibiotics.  The Refamin is taken twice a day but has to either be 1 hour prior to a meal, or 2-3 hours right after a meal.  Those of you that know my Lexi...well, she eats all day long.  So I am trying to give her one dose at about 4am, so that on school mornings she can keep her schedule of breakfast and breathing treatments.  She just goes right back to sleep, but not Mom/Dad:)  The Zyvox is every eight hours, so one dose of this is given around 11-12 at night.  Another during the night dose...wish it could be at the same time as her Refampin!!!  Anyway, with the Zyvox there is 2 pages of food she can not eat, it can make your blood pressure high, and she has to have her blood drawn every week while taking this med.  So please pray that the grueling schedule and side effects will not matter, b/c at the end her ORSA will be gone!
