Dreaded Staff Infection...

Josh's surgery to reaattach the skull has been postponed because he has come down with a staff infection. Here is a link to his specific diagnosis: https://health.google.com/health/ref/MRSA

Because he will not be having the surgery for at least 3 more weeks (to finish his antibiotics), he will be coming home soon. Which is good news in some ways, and bad news in others. The virus is very very contagious, and the Stevens family is very worried about visitors, and keeping their home sanitized. It is also exhausting trying to imagine the supervision that will be required 24/7! Rebeca said she is happy to have him come home, but very very worried at the same time.

We will find out more information later on today, and at the end of the week. We will keep you posted! For now, if are looking for ways to help out, a few suggestions may be leaving some disinfectant wipes, spray, hand sanitizer, gloves, or other things that would help make his homecoming special(but also sanitary!).
