Throat culture and update

The nurse was supposed to call me- but I ended up calling her. I remember her once telling me how families will anxiously call looking for the results of the throat cultures. No wonder, we want to know if there is anything in there eating at our childrens' lungs. Anna's culture came back with the same low level staph that she has had before. Again, the nurse said that it did not need to be treated at this time because it is not bothering Anna. Or is it? The nurse said that if Anna were to start coughing then we would get an antibiotic that would take care of the staph (luckily it is a type of staph that responds to antibiotics.) But Anna is coughing, sort of.  Is it the staph?  I talked to the nurse about Anna's coughing which is not getting better but not getting worse either.  She said we should continue to monitor the cough, breathing rate, and Anna's behaviour and if anything changes for the worse then we would address it. So, we continue to hang out.
