Scott sends word that unfortunately Aaron has come down with MRSA, which is basically a resistant form of bacteria that causes difficult-to-treat infections. Apparently this is common and also contagious to other patients in the hospital, so the family has to wear gloves and gowns when they enter his room. He also still has the strain of pneumonia in his lungs, so it sounds like the MRSA infection may be elsewhere in his body.
The nurses say this isn’t a critical issue, but it is a disappointing set back that slows down his recovery, and it could take up to 14 days to clear him totally of the infection.
