Sepsis

Sadly Larry is struggling with high fevers and rigors attacks. His Dr. called me at midnight at the hospital. He explained that he believes Larry has a sepsis infection of the bile duct. They put him on 3 different IV's of  very strong antibiotics. He has received 4 IV bags of sodium chloride today with little urine output.

I am staying at the hospital with him. They brought me a mini bed to sleep on. Again, no sleeping tonight.

    Mel, thank you for keeping us posted.

    Do they think the infection is a result of the chemo?

    Thanks Sherry! Laurie, they do not know for sure. Was told that anytime the body becomes immune suppressed it can happen. We may have to find out later if it continues to cause fever problems.
