The Final Word - Hopefully

James has a fast growing, strong colony of the old fashioned staphylococcus aureus, not MRSA. It is only resistant to penicillin. The reason that the first antibiotic didn't work is likely because the dose or the method of delivery (oral) was inadequate for the rate of multiplication. He is doing much better. After two more doses of IV antibiotics today he will be coming home, probably late evening. Thank God for His mercy, and thank you for praying.

We are thankful that the cause is known and the treatment identified too. Now we hope that James will complete the treatment and let his body recover thoroughly before he takes on too much work or stress.

It's been a while since we've heard an update. Is he doing well?
