When you’re admitted to the hospital or even to see a doc or have procedure they ask for name(s) of those you authorize to receive medical information. And you’re right- do it ahead.

Three Factors that will contribute to JimRob’s Recovery

1) The Power of Prayer
2) The Love of Family and Friends
3) A Positive Attitude

“God, please guide the medical staff with the wisdom to provide a healthy discharge from the hospital. Thank you for giving each of us the ability to love and respect this true patriot.

So glad Chris was allowed in! Praying the antibiotics work quickly! Thank you for keeping us updated Amy! Continued prayers for healing!

[boxlunch]

Agree about high dose vit C, probably vit D also! Can help the body and antibiotics to fight!

More prayers up. God bless.

***The doctor said he has sepsis***

This is a somewhat common infection in the elderly and it can be deadly serious! One challenge medically is to find the right antibiotic(s) since sepsis can originate from various pathologies. It is tricky and not a matter of hasty treatment.

ATTENTION CHRIS: one great dangerous side effect to heavy antibiotic therapy is C-diff, a different sort of infection in the intestine from a pathogen that is probably normally kept in check by the usual normal intestinal bacteria. C-diff, clostridioides difficile, makes up about 20% of cases of antibiotic-associated diarrhea; antibiotics can contribute to detrimental changes in gut microbiota; specifically, they decrease short-chain fatty acid absorption which results in osmotic, or watery, diarrhea. Complications may include pseudomembranous colitis, toxic megacolon, perforation of the colon, and sepsis.

I strongly recommend that either before Jim's release from the hospital (if his doctor agrees) or certainly as soon as he comes home, start a rather aggressive consistent treatment of recognized probiotics! It will help to reestablish Jim's normal microbiota and deter C-diff from gaining the upper hand.

God's blessings to our pioneer heroic warrior for freedom and the Republic! Fondly, Bob Ireland
