C-diff

Yep, Madi has it. We're working the alphabet. CF, CDiff, now we need something that's CE___. All joking aside, it's a toxin in her intestines that decided to become a pest. She has been on Cipro (antibiotic) for over a week and has had yucky diapers. I meantioned it to the pediatrician at her one year visit (thank goodness I did) and he said we better do a stool sample for C-diff. (click here for more info). I remember working in the hospital during college and took care of people who contracted it while in there for something else. It happens when you're on antibiotics for awhile or if it's a strong abx like Cipro and it kills the good bacteria in your intestines. Now there's nothing there to fight the C-diff toxin that kind of hangs out in our bodies. She feels fine, just bad diapes. She's off the Cipro and on different abx now to get rid of the C-diff. Hopefully it will take care of it and it won't be an issue. C-diff can be really hard to get rid of so let's pray that this round of abx will blast it away!!!
