My son would get a staff infection every time we went to the hospital. It was awful! (And I don't even want to THINK about the floors. My son was in ICU once for a month -- don't even ask how many times they DIDN'T mop the floor -- just gross and disgusting!)<BR/><BR/>The couch is a tragedy for you, I'm sure, but pardon me for laughing out loud after all the tension with the hospital and staff and such. How long does leather stay on the breath? Is there a leather-lyzer test available? Guess you could say dog "X" was just feeling your pain and acted out a bit ... or not. No dogs for me thanks my chintz would never stand up to their chompers.
