Will send positive thought his way! MRSA is simply a staph infection that is resistant to the most common antibiotic used to treat staph so they have to use another one. There ARE many antibiotics that can be used successfully. Any joint can become infected but MRSA is just extra tricky. Just my 2 cents: Anyone pregnant should stay away from him until the infection is cleared and they may need to do some cultures of his nose (I know, Yuck!) to make sure he's not carrying the bacteria. Also, I would suggest that your mom asks his doctor to check a Ferritin level just to make sure he doesn't have a condition where the body stores too much iron and can predispose people to joint infections; especially the knees.

Just said a prayer for a complete recovery and a good soccer season
