As a retired ER/ICU nurse I know what you’re going through. Glad you have capable care where you are. I’ve been wheelchair dependent for about four years and been dealing with pressure wounds that won’t heal, Stay on top of this infection. I was impress with your presentation of your care. I’ll be praying for you guys…
I’m so glad you have doctors and the life-saving treatments that you need. I’m disabled and dream of van life and health care and the support of a partner. your voice is important and we are lucky you take us through the journey! I hope that you continue to heal/outcomes improve. and always be yourself!
This is so healing for me to see. When I had my c-section for my daughter I got a septic infection. To save my life, and keep me from getting a hysterectomy, a doctor had to reopen the entire incision while I was awake and get as much of the infection out as possible. It took 2 months of a wound vac, then it got reinfected so then it took 6 months of seeing a wound care doctor every 5 days and nurses everyday to get it healed. My daughter was almost 9 months old when I was released from all doctors and restrictions. I’m so grateful to have that doctor save my life, but to hear you say that it was so traumatic, it validates how I felt. You can be grateful and happy the doctor took this action. While still having to deal with the scary trauma of the event as well. I pray and hope you get better soon and this is a distant memory.
You’re such a brave person.❤ Brian is so great, being a caregiver is not easy. You both are so lucky to have each other. Keep smiling and stay strong,bless both of you.❤❤
You are so brave and strong. My daughter had a bone infection in her ankle when she was 8. She also had a PICC line and took vancomycin. Which she was unfortunately allergic and it sent her back in the hospital. It took 3 months but she’s better now! I’m sending you all my positive energy and healing vibes. Hope it’s resolved soon!
I was on vancomycin for an infection. I loved it bc 100% cleared all acne as well as the huge intestine infection I had. I truly hope you get cleared of this infection! I have a lot of medical issues due to diffuse scleroderma, neuromyelitis optica, lupus and more. Thank you for sharing but means a lot to the people who battle health conditions so we feel we aren't alone. I truly pray this works for you. I know it can be scary but your a super strong woman you got this. I randomly saw one of your shorts about the hard days and crying. Totally hit home and cried with you xoxo
Rooting for you ❤️💕sweet friend. Traveling with chronic illness is no easy thing. So glad you’re in this together and sending good vibes that this resolves soon. Hope you can feel the hug I’m sending!!! Love that you are sharing your journey but hate that you have to endure this part. -Siobhan ❤️
You are honestly so strong. I love that you mentioned that there is always a reason! So true. Keep posting content. The RUclips algorithm will find you and boost your channel, don’t worry. Your mind and your relationship with your partner are very unique!
You are so strong Nicholette ❤ Thank you for sharing. That doctor sounds terrible I don’t like how he treated you at all! Brian you are a sweet kind person - a great caregiver/partner ❤ Stay strong you two! Praying for your complete recovery ❤️🩹
Wow, how intense! What a horrifying journey you are having to go on. I’m glad you are fighting through it all though and that they got that out…. But like, how about some warning doc?! Geeeeez 😵 I’m always lurking and watching and hope to see y’all back to more hounding soon! 🤘
Thanks for watching and yes lol the doc is the best but first visit was surprising 😂 we definitely will be rockhounding plenty this year and maybe we can rockhound together one of these days! Thanks for watching as always
So awesome you have great doctors! I had DVT clots ridden through my body due to autoimmune and they said I was fine nothing big is going on. Yeah ended up in the hospital with "extensive pulmonary embolisms" yeh I was pissed fired my primary
Subscribed to your channel recently and have been watching back episodes. Saw this and jumped to the front.1 All I can say is, I wish only the best for you both. Of all the "van life", "truck life" channels I watch, you two seem to be the most down-to-earth. Both honest & open with your lives. Can't wait to see what you do next, once you can 'get back on the road' to whatever extent you decide. BTW, my son was on "Vanco" for 10/days years back, while fighting an infection while he was being treated for leukemia. As you said, it is the most potent antibiotic medication there is today! It worked for him! I hope it works well for you!
I had MRSA after my back surgery that got into my central nervous system and went to my brain and caused meningitis ....fun. Three months in the hospital and another three at home with a pic line and Vancomycin twice a day :-( I know what you're going through, keep your chin up , it doesn't last forever 🙂
Did they test you for MRSA? The vancomycin would cover that thankfully. I had to do a week of vanc iv antibiotics in January and it was awful… hubby and I were so sleep deprived. I can’t imagine 6 weeks! Stay strong, you got this ❤
Never forget my one and only trip to the panhandle and Palo Duro Canyon. Thought I'd seen everything my state had to offer till we got to Amarillo. Y'all's story is truly inspiring. Can't wait for you guys to get back on the road.
It surprised us a lot to see how much that part of Texas had to offer! Between Palo Duro, lake merideth and Caprock canyon its worth visiting! We both appreciate you and can't wait to be back on the road as well
Hey I been following you guys and just came across this. And had the same problem. I broke my L2 almost 2 years ago. And got mrsa. Was on vanco in hospital for 3 months.I had a pin size hole in my spine months after surgery that wouldn’t stop leaking clear stuff. I had a vac on that. About 8 months later (last September) I was in so much pain I could t even shower. Went back December and they said I had a infection in my spine. Was in hospital again for 2 months. I’m only 32. And it’s so damn scary. Scared every day it’s gunna come back or they didn’t get it all. And the littlest thing I all sudden think it’s an infection. Thank god my fiancé rode it out with me. So I feel y’all an what y’all going threw 🙏🙏
Bless you both...my daughter was born with a rare GI disorder--has had a Central Line since two years. Plus other stuff. So when I saw this--piqued my interest.
We will keep your daughter in our prayers and thankyou! still on the wound vac and they took the line out but still having issues so we are unsure if it will stay out. It can be tough when life is unfair but we try to keep positive and trust all will be well and we wish that for you and your daughter 💖
@@NicholetteBrian Wow! Thank you for your reply! Olivia does great--23 yr old--and pressing forward! And my old mama's heart keeps busy here at the farm--and we run a small school, too! Praying for laws to be changed to fit those with health issues--insurance needs...etc. We need a Revolution for such! Glad the PICC line came out...now on to the rest of the healing! 🙏💚💙🙏
Wow! You really saved me! I had been dreaming of & saving for a van. I have some chronic medical issues that flare. I thought I would have to give up that dream. You've shown me that, although challenging, it is possible! Do you get copies [either hard copy or digital] of all your records to have in case you flare somewhere else & they want your records?
I've had an infection from a knee surgery I needed for quality of life in 2017, it was post surgery, the day after the stitches removal, that the infection set in. They treated me with IV Vancomycin in the ED and, let me tell you, I found the first medication I'm allergic to, which is IV Vancomycin. Now there are multiple forms of this medication, and I can't have ANY of them, because of my allergic reaction, my lips swelled like a blowfish, it looked like Mike Tyson sucker punched me in the face! and then I also got hives. we didn't let it get any worse, so idk but I didn't get anaphylaxis at that moment. Would I try again, no! 😂 But I'm glad the medication does work for you. I'm glad that it's a treatment option for you. Trust me, I've said we're all allergic to at least one thing. Some of us never find that one thing. Other of us find all the things. I'm hopeful I don't find anything else I am allergic to.
Massive payers going up for both. I'm sorry to hear y'all are going through. I had to go through all that IV stuff last August for 8wks. Had nurses coming to my house 3 times a week because I physically couldn't get to the doctor. It's a long story, best left unsaid... LOL'...... Just wanted to tell you that we love you kids. Just try to keep you beautiful smile shining bright. and in spite of all the uglies life is through keep having fun... Much love and many prayers, be blessed in Jesus name... BBE,,,
Is the but wound the reason for bed rest as you wernt before and when did the but infection start ? And was it a pilonidal cyst to start with before he cut it out a pilonidal cyst can come from long periods of sitting and leaks puss constantly ? ❤️ Much love x
Wound vacs are one of the best inventions in wound care. You said at the beginning of this video that you stopped traveling. I disagree, you are just not moving around the country, but you are still traveling. It's like swimming in place--you aren't moving, but you're still swimming! Hang in there. Yeahhhhh, bye bye PICC line!
@Bonnie Geesey you're not making any sense. If you don't like their videos, why are you here, let alone commenting? As a fellow WC user for 21 yrs, Nicholette & Brian are awesome. We love watching their adventures.

Gosh. I considered HB treatment after radiation burns, but I didn’t realize the commitment. I’m also enjoying Brian’s dedication to your well-being.

Knew instantly from the scenery you were at Palo Duro Canyon! Texas state park system has so many amazing gems.
Yes this was palo duro! We love it there sm
When I had my pick line I had these huge bagels and it was ice cold. But I was connected all day and night. I felt like I was dieing.
Wow! You really saved me! I had been dreaming of & saving for a van. I have some chronic medical issues that flare. I thought I would have to give up that dream. You've shown me that, although challenging, it is possible!
Do you get copies [either hard copy or digital] of all your records to have in case you flare somewhere else & they want your records?
Nope they can do all of that online by reaching out to the hospital 🫶🏼 it’s not for everyone but it is possible!
God bless you both ❤️🙏🏻❤️
You will recive financielle support, i hope❤❤
I will be praying for you.
You are so strong and beautiful. Both of you💯❤️

Palo Duro canyon?! Y’all were like 30 mins from me!
Also, what if I have a feeding tube. Will I explode? Lol
Wow...couragous people 😮
I’m having an IV right now.
Hi. Were you in a auto accident? You are brave. Take care.
Does insurance pay for everything
Did your insurance cover this?
I went septic and I was on the same antibiotics, I vomited so many times I couldn’t eat.
