MRSA

Hi my names is Shahana L. Woods- Marshall & on August 8. 2007 i had a beautiful daughter. I had an emergency c-section (cesearn)Durin my recovery on bed rest my stomach were i had my c-section had got infected real bad. I had stuff flowin out of it like a water fall! Then it got better and then i began to get huge boils on my incision. It than became a giant whole, and now as of November 11, 2007 it is just now finally starting to heal. During my pregnancy i was diagnosed with MRSA( Staph Infection) they told me i was ok and if i took my antibiotics i will be ok.. No that wasnt true...! I have this superbug and i fight for my life everyday, scared not knowing if i can die and when i will. Im scared that i will have to leave earth at this age with my new family..I have people that tell me they dont want me around them neither of there children!! I want to let everyone know around the world that it isnt something they should be careless about this is very very serious..My heart goes out to the families who has lost there family, i know how they feel, i have MRSA myself. I want them to know that im sorry and some day we all hope to find something to kill this bug...! Now on my incision it looks like i have an indent in my stomach. It hurts to lay certain ways to stretch to do any of that! I hope that everyone hears my story .. Those who are to read this Please! Please! take care of yourselves there is already a slim chance i could pass don't be careless expecially if you have children. God is with us all God Bless you all and be safe take care of yourselves very well...If you wont do it for yourselves like i said do it for your children..

I'm so sorry to hear of your problems! In my opinion,I think whoever did your C section was not using a sterile enough technique..he was careless & now you're scared & suffering from it!
