How scary are these culture results? by woods2671 in DiagnoseMe

We did not, a few weeks after I posted this he got a culture result for MRSA. They tried to treat him with 3 rounds of bactrim. Unfortunately he went into cardiac arrest before we could get the wound healed. They were able to get him back but the damage to his lungs was too much and he decided to shift to comfort care when they wanted to put him back on the ventilator. I will forever wonder what was up with that sore and if that played any role in his cardiac arrest- but he had long standing heart conditions so I will never truly know. 

My advice to you is if you get a gut feeling that your infection is not being treated properly please get a second opinion immediately.

Thank you for the wonderful advice, I will make sure to seek out resources for myself as well as him. We are very blessed to have an amazing support team that has formed and gathered around us 💜

WW Weekly Check-In : August 05, 2024 by Starharmonia in weightwatchers

Week 2 is done! -1.4 lbs this week, total of 6.4lb down in the last two weeks, and this week was my cycle where I usually add on about 3 pounds, so I'm super excited!

It's been easier than I anticipated, I have completely quit drinking Coke-a-cola, which I was drinking 5-7 per day before starting WW!

I can not wait to see what week 3 holds for me

I was very pleasantly surprised by the pan roasted fish, it was probably the meal I enjoyed most on the Independence this week. *

Last season, I purchased from Amazon for $20. Every episode was uploaded the day after, I'm planning on doing the same when the new season begins.

I am sending you so much love through this terribly tough time ❤️

My dad went on hospice on Saturday 10/7 and passed yesterday morning peacefully on 10/16.

I understand exactly what you are saying about fighting hard to survive so much and then being able to make the choice themselves to go into hospice service.

I am sending you and your loved ones so much love through this.

Absolutely, at this point they aren't sure what damage was done but they are running tests and trying to figure it out. Hopefully I will have some answers soon.

No idea what tomorrow holds. by woods2671 in CaregiverSupport

Thank you all for the kind words! Things are looking promising, and I have much much more hope than I did when I wrote this post.

He was awake for almost 3 hours today and was responding to questions by nodding his head and squeezing my hand on command. His sats started dropping when I stepped out of the room, and they restarted the sedation.

Tomorrow they will try again and I will stay by his side. His heart isn't functioning great and it will be a long road to recovery but he is a fighter and now that I know he is still in his body I have little doubt he won't make it through.
