My husband has heart failure,diabetes.His large toe was amputated in Jan.No circlation in leg,several ulcers.Edema is severe ,taking large amounts of lasix.He was diagnoised with Mrsa. His leg is draing so much,causing puddles on floor.Over night his toenails turn white and he had white stuff all over his foot,I had to litterly soak his foot to clean it up. He is with Hospice and I haave a real concern about this Mrsa in our home and feel he should be hspitalized. Am I right?
