Life With Boys

The mis-adventures of two crazy boys and their bleary eyed parents.


All about CA-ORSA

Thought I would clarify a few things —

Mom was visiting me in St. Louis when she passed away.

Mom already had the CA-ORSA (community acquired Oxacillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) before she went into the hospital. (Many people have asked if she “caught it” while she was at the hospital — I did too), but it was far too advanced for her to have picked it up during her stay. Not that it doesn’t happen, it just didn’t this time.

The stars were aligned just right for her to get the infection in her lungs (which were severely damaged by 40 years of smoking) and her immune system was compromised just enough to let it take over.

About Me

I started this site so my mom could get news about her grandkids without me having to walk her through the process of trying to open and email attachment several times a week.  Since then she has passed away and I’ve fallen off the blog wagon, but I’m inspired to pick it up again now.
