Hi jeff2151"Sadly my mother in law died yesterday. I post as she was released from rehab post back operation and was given all clear after being on antibiotics for infection. A few days later she calls her daughter in distress, we go to her place. Ambulance say doesn't sound priority but eventually come. Ambos come and vitals a bit abnormal, emergency initially say maybe some pain relief.... before discharge goes bad, sepsis, ICU, emergency surgery to clean operation 'hardware'..... ICU...sepsis impacted all organs.... ICU, micro still inconclusive, a few weeks...infection roars back.. Bleak outlook if survives....Advanced care direction implemented...care and comfort...dies 2 hrs later.... Vale Heather and thankyou. Relevance to ....... - Early ID of sepsis may have changed disease treatment/progression... Also I'm surprised that multiple swabs, micro petri, pcr testing..... the bug never is confirmed or infection seed site. Hospital staff are amazing but still sometimes fly blind. Timely Information about patient is critical PS hug those you love and friends and family are what matters "
