<s>[INST] My mother in law has lung & brain cancer. She has been hospitalized & diagnosed with VRE now as well. I have a 2 year old grandson & my daughter in law is pregnant. I am concerned about the risks to them. We care for my mother in law in our home however, my grandson & daughter in law do not live with us they just visit. [/INST] Hi, Thanks for writing in. There is no additional risk to your grandson and daughter-in-law however the Vancomycin resistant enterococci should be contained. Please see that hygiene is maintained and there is no contamination around at home which might increase the chances of infection spreading to others. Since the grandson and daughter-in-law visit occasionally, there is no particular risk of the vancomycin resistant enterococci disease spreading in the house. Please do not worry. </s>
