Re: Prayers for Jeremy Waibel
 

Hope all goes well Jeremy, I would assume you get this MRSA from a cut or open wound that did not get cleaned? Any rate my cousin a couple of years ago was welding corral pannels and cut his arm and ended up getting a flesh eating virus and was in real bad shape. When he cut it he just wiped it on his shirt or pants and kept on working and by the next day he was all ready in bad shape. So to make a long story short he made out allright with no problems, the doctor he ended up with told him to keep peroxide or neosporin or any thing like that to clean any cuts imeadiatly to prevent any thing like that from happening. Need less to say he does and so do I. I keep a bottle of peroxide at work and allways pour it on any cuts I get from working on cars and I have not had any problems. I dont know if this would work against this MRSA but it could not hurt! Get well soon Jeremy. Trevor Weiss

Good idea - I remember reading an article in a transmission rebuilding magazine we get at the shop a while back that was talking about a guy getting real sick after working on a car that had been in Hurrican Katrina's flood waters in New Orleans. Of course he didn't know it at the time that the car had been in the flood waters.

Get well Jeremy.

Get well soon Jeremy, from team BackMotor, met you and Ramona at LMP at "the last drag race" July 22, 2007 talked with Ramona in the tower for a few, she's very nice, you were pitted near me, we have the rear engine fuel altered (soon to be Corvette funny car) stopped by your pit space and said Hi, you were real busy at the time, but you still took the time to say Hi and wished us good luck. Thanks, now I return the favor and wish you speedy recovery, get well, and come back to the races, we miss you man. Mike AKA: BackMotor

Ramona I was under the impression last time I saw jeremy he had enough alcohol in system to fight off any infection......maybe you are to take it externally for infection not internally....You never can trust those doctors you know. I talk to Jim he told me about ths staff infection did not seem to concerned at that time sorry to hear took turn for the worst we will keep Jeremy on the prayer list with Daran.....Daryl

Re: Prayers for Jeremy Waibel
 

Yeah about a month ago Jeremy had staph under his arm, we got it lanced and drained and it healed up real nice... then about a week ago now it started hurting again, and we had to go to the hospital after the Import event at LMP... cause he could not put his arm down. When we got here he had two more.. they cut them and then sent us home with antibiotics... LOL that was a joke... when we got here Wed to have the wound re checked, he had new ones.. Just seems to be one step forward and 3 backwards. Not to mention now he has a blood clot in his arm.

I am not sure about internally vs externally... alcohol seems to do a couple things of amazement for me 1. Some how I grow to be 10 foot tall and become bullet proof!!!
2. Makes me think that EVERYTHING is a GREAT idea !!!! (Surprised there have not been more hospital trips for me!!)

Thanks for the support guys we really appreciate it.

Re: Prayers for Jeremy Waibel
 

Well, we now possibily have a new blood clot in the other arm. LOVELY!!!
I am here to tell you that race car drivers are the worst patients!!! LOL

Re: Prayers for Jeremy Waibel
 

Get well buddy! I here you are doing such a great job over there in Lakeland! I might have to come see you! Mine and my families prayers are with you and yours. Jim

Re: Prayers for Jeremy Waibel
 

Ramona, Which hospital is Jeremy in? If he is developing clots (emboli probably) should he be moved to a bigger center where interventional service is available now? Message coming to you.

Re: Prayers for Jeremy Waibel
 

Well I appreciate any and all concern. Jeremy is in Lakeland Regional Medical Center. Thanks so much. Message coming back at you Dick.

You know when it rains it pours... when I went to get the boys from one baby sitter to go to another one, we found that Joshua (our youngest) had a place on his stomach.. so I have had him in the ER for the past couple of hours and we have him on antibiotics now for STAPH!!!!!
We are supposed to take him back if it gets worse, or in 3 das to make sure that they antibiotics are working.
