I hope the docs get a handle on what's wrong with your Mom TBF. I'm sure you know there is a "super" staff going around called MRSA that is resistant to antibiotics. If that turns out to be the case, there are some older antibiotics that will fight it, but none of the cillins will work. I know this because my little one got it from a friend of mine. It is highly contagious, but IS curable so don't despair. My thoughts and prayers will be with you both.
