MRSA

My dad is in hospital at the moment with an 'MRSA' infection resulting from a seemingly routine hernia operation a couple of weeks back. On Wednesday he looked very drawn and not his usual self and was losing a fair amount of blood from the hernia op wound. He was taken to Newark Hospital and then transferred to Kings Mill hospital in Mansfield about 20 miles away which is larger and has better facilities.

I saw him in hospital today and he looks a little lighter in weight but is in good spirits, he's coping really well and hopefully will respond to the treatment and be home in the near future. The best Christmas present I could have would be to have him home safe and sound and back to his normal self.
