Mom's Doing Ok

My mom is doing better. She had a tracheostomy and is completely off of the sedation medicine. She can sit up, talk, eat and is working on standing and walking. However, she just contracted Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). It is an antibiotic resistant staph infection, that happens to be in her lungs. It is quite common among long-term hospital patients and is infectious.
