Infectious Disease Doc

E. had an appointment with the Infectious Disease Doc today. All his labs (blood counts, chem panels, iron levels, etc.) were normal, so he's been deemed "cured" of his staph infection. The doctor actually said that in the whole scope of infections, E.'s was a "weenie" infection (much better that kind of weenie infection than the other kind of weinie infection, if I do say so myself). Tomorrow marks the final day of the ten days of Daptomycin anti-biotics, and if the peripheral IV "accidentally" comes out on its own after the final IV in the morning, we don't even have to return to the doctor's office. We were warned that sometimes the infection returns in one to three weeks, so we need to be watching for fever, chills, nausea and vomiting. Aside from any of that, the doctor said he hoped to never see us again.
