Roses and Roller Coasters

Big Hugzzzz and Thank yous to all who have popped over to check on me!
I miss yous too!
I am sorry it has been so long between posts!

My life has been an emotional roller coaster lately!
Oyyy.......
I need a vacation.... just to escape life for awhile!
Calgon... TAKE ME AWAY!!! {do you remember that commercial?}

On a more serious note... I am asking a favor from all of you dear sweet angels! Please keep my daughter Chrissy {momma to Miss Emma and Ty}
in your prayers!
She was just diagnosed with MRSA.

The doctor has her on antibiotics and some sorta cream!
I don't know all the details as she was too upset to ask questions before she left his office!

She said basically if the antibiotics do not work she will have to be hospitalized! This is all new to me... I know nothing about MRSA,
I need to do some research and ask lots of questions!

If any of yous know anything or have any advice it will be greatly appreciated!
I am trying to keep a happy face on and a positive attitude
but honestly I am very worried!


** Prayers are needed here girls **


I want to show you this beautiful rose wreath
I won from Miss LeAnn at
For the love of cottage!

I hung it in the princess suite!
I think it looks perfect in there! {don't you?}

LeAnn thank you with all my heart!
You made my day!
You made my heart smile!


Also thank you to Glenda, Sam I am, Jillian and Jan for the
Wonderful award!
I am honored that you girls come and visit my lil bloggy poo!
I treasure our friendships and all of your comments!

Thank you for your prayers
I wish you all a very blessed day,
Hugz, Dolly

Lori said...

Dolly, basically MRSA is a staph infection with a staph that has learned to be resistant to the antibiotic that usually works to kill it...if it is on her skin, it should be easy to treat...i will say prayers:)

Praying for your daughter! She has the same name as my own daughter. I don't know about that condition either, but I hope the meds will cure her.
Love your new goodies too, but please do not worry about blogging. Take the time you need to see about your daughter and her family. She needs you right now. Let her know that many souls will be praying for her recovery. And you take care!

Oh - you have been missed, sweet friend. Your Chrissy is in my prayers! I wish you lived closer and could pop over for fresh squeezed cherry-lemonade and sit on my pink couch (wink). I'd give you a foot massage!

Kai said...

Dolly, I was unfamiliar with MRSA but first looked it up, then called my rheumatologist to ask if it is autoimmune-related. He said it's not, but it is harder on anyone WITH autoimmune illnesses. And he told me it is a staph infection resistant to many of the more common antibiotics. I hadn't read your comment about it manifesting itself in the form of boils so I couldn't tell him that, but he told me that it often shows up as pimple-like skin lesions at first. His advice was to keep it VERY clean & disinfected, wash her hands almost obsessively, and keep any infected place well covered with a VERY CLEAN bandage. I'm glad her fever broke and I am most certainly praying for her! I know we ALL all, Dolly! Please, keep us updated!

Dolly!
It is basically what Lori said...but it can be spread to others if not careful. Now that being said...it comes down to HAND WASHING! And since I work in a hospital we are probably postive for MRSA! It is rampant in most hospitals and this does happen more and more outside the hospital. She is in my prayers and this too shall pass!
Hugs!

How is Chrissy doing?

Visiting your blog this morning made me feel so comfy....as I was reading down I noticed the print of the little girl faced towards the corner with her doggy. I used to have that and another one hanging on my bedroom wall when I was little and forgot ALL about them til now:)

Ive nominated you for a blog award on my blog!

I hope Chrissy is feeling better, Miss Dolly. It's no fun having one of our babies sick, no matter how old they are.

Please be careful as MRSA is very contagious. Wash those hands!

Daydreams and Nightmares said...

Hi Dolly. First of all, thanks for visiting my blog. (pack rat)
I actually had MRSA about a yr, & a half ago. I broke out with what they thought at first might be shingles, but it was MRSA. It can be very painful before it goes away, & mine spread before getting better. I am diabetic, so they kept a watchful eye on me. I know it's hard to get rid of, & I have no clue how I got it. (they asked if I'd been to a nursing home or hospital) As per their advice, all clothes, towels, wash cloths, etc. went into a HOT dryer, & I stayed away from the grandbaby until it left! I'm sure prayers on my behalf helped me, so I will certainly pray for her. Keep us updated! Gloria

Well, come by and check out my last post for the mystery trip! A bit late but better late than never I say! LOL!
Many hugs!

Sweet Cottage Dreams said...

Dolly, MRSA is becoming so common these days. Basically, if you have an opening in your skin (scratch, hang nail, wound) the staph can easily enter the body. I will pray for Chrissy and for her family, too. I believe that Polly's son (Count Your Blessings) went through something like this. You may want to link to her to find out.

Love your wreath from LeAnn! Just perfect for your suite.
