Meet with doc

ok it's sepsis, some type of infection that is in her body. the doc feels like she has a 75% chance of making it. Now that's not an awesome number but we've been in worse so that number to me isn't so bad.

The doctor expects her to get worse over the next day or 2 BUT the hope is after that she may improve. It sounds like the next 5 to 6 days are going to be the most critical. If she can get through the next 5 to 6 days and her health improves over those days then her chances will improve. the doctor did stress that her type two  diabetes does make things more complicated

She is semi awake. She can tell we are there and acknowledged our presence. She isn't breathing on her own right now.

They are giving her a CT scan tonight to get a more complete diagnosis 

dad and i have gone to the hotel for the night

What medications are they giving? Did they say? Is she on IV antibiotics?

i didn't ask what the exact antibiotics they are going to use. What did you want to know aunt rose?

I guess I am worried because she was in hospital for two weeks prior to this happening. I want to feel that they are being sufficiently aggressive now.
