Yesterday was a rough day for my Dad. The nursing home called at 11 AM to tell us he needed to go to the hospital. He was in the ER until 2 AM when a bed opened up. He is in ICU with an infection known as SEPlS (one of the greatest dangers of an advanced pressure sore, this occurs when bacteria from a massive infection enter your bloodstream and spread throughout your body — a rapidly progressing, life-threatening condition that can cause shock and organ failure.). He has high fever, pain and very low blood pressure. Today, he will be seen by a surgeon, skin care team and someone from infection control. Hopefully we will have news later on.

Oh girl... I am praying for you! I hope there will be some treatment for him and they caught it in time! Hugs and blessings
Pep,
I am so sorry. When my son we sick we were always fearful of sepsis and knew we had to respond quickly if he ever showed signs. I am glad the nursing home recognized the signs and sent him to the hospital quickly. Sending prayers your way for you and your family.

Praying. And hoping to hear a good update soon.
Oh Pep. May the Lord strengthen and guide you in these difficult days and decisions!
Still praying for your dad Pep.
(((Hugs)))
