Thanks,Kat. I'm usually lurking, and this really upsets me. I feel like Spaw is an old friend. I only know Karen from what Spaw and all of you have said. She sounds like a SAINT!

C-diff, (clostridium difficile) is a bacteria that is normally present in the gut, but sometimes they overpopulate when competing bacteria are wiped out with antibiotics. symptoms range from mild to lethal, and can be treated successfully if caught in time. It is indeed very good Spaw's test for c-diff was negative.

Thanks, BlueJay
