Brytons Big Day!
So happy to be able to post here for my son!! A little background on his ordeal. When he was 5 months old, he contracted c diff from me. He was taking Amoxicillan, Augmentin and then Rocepherin(sp?) shots. He was hospitalized for a few days because of dehydration and not keeping Flagyl down. If you think that stuff tastes nasty swallowing it, imagine grinding it up and then putting it in liquid and having it float around your mouth. Needless to say it was impossible to get him to not gag. He did finish the 2 weeks and did very well until 73 days post treatment. He then caught some stomach bug, probably Norovirus and relapsed from it. This time the docs insisted on trying Flagyl again. He went 5 days with no treatment because he vomitted every drop we put in him. We kept pushing the dr to try Vanco. After a night in the ER for rehydration they finally tried vanco. It was amazing he took it like a pro and never ever had issues with it. He kept looking at us each time we got the syringe out and scrunching his face but as soon as we put it in him mouth with the vanco he would look at us like thats it? This time we did a taper with vanco I believe it was about 5 1/2 weeks in all. He is now 90 days plus a few. We just feel so blessed to have him healthy for now!! Our strength through all of this was God.
