Yes the % of life lost has many factors.. But My husband is on oxygen almost full time now and I get overjoyed if he is at 90 sat, So his severe copd plays into all this.. Sure my husband could response quickly to which ever IV antibiotic is tried first or there could be need for numerous antibiotics that open up a window where further infections can happen..

The reality is now that the only option we have is IV antibiotics its raising this to another level. I have not given up hope and I pray constantly... But I also have to think of a possible devastating outcome.

I didnt know you did surgery .. Yes that woman was graced with a miracle
