Will this nightmare ever end???

We got a call from the nursing home this morning. They got lab results back and apparently the UTI we thought had been treated while she was in the hospital wasn't treated. In fact that infection is now SEPTIC. In addition to that while in the hospital she contracted MRSA. So now she's back in the hospital (a different one) and being treated with antibiotics. I only hope it isn't too late.

An Update:

We are seeing improvement!! :clap: :cheer: She has started opening her eyes and today she tried to talk. The doctors are confident she'll make a full recovery, but given her age and all she's been through it will take time. I just found out several days ago that my cousin is in the same hospital. He's in his late 60's and has cerebral palsy and has been having chest pains and problems breathing so hopefully they find out what's wrong with him.

Fingers crossed we're on the right track!! Again thanks for all the nice words and prayers. :hug: :hug:

A not so good Update:

My cousin passed on last night.

My grandmother has developed bleeding somewhere and the doctors aren't sure where, so they're going to scope her stomach and colon to see what's going on. She's also developed blood clots in her lungs so they're going to have a lung doctor look at that. There's also talk of inserting a stomach tube because she can't eat or swallow. The good news is that her infections appear to be getting better, now we just have something new to deal with. :sigh:
