dan can come home today... he will continue to be on oral levoquin ( antibiotic) to continue the combat with the sepsis.... i wont go into him coming home a lot --- i am happy , maybe a good nite sleep ?? I lost a good friend today--- she has had stomach issues for a long time...and apparently her colon burst and sepsis set in on her immediatley... she was at her moms for easter meal got sick, ( her mom is a OR nurse) --was taken to the hospital and airlifted out... but she passed away early this morning... now we were not coffee buddies...but she was one of the few who did what she said she would do and helped me with paperwork ( i think i wrote about that last year - summer) .... and we knew each other well, ran in the same groups, and worked together for a number of years... Now as you guys know i prayed for dan in those dark hours-- to ease his pain-- take him quick dear lord.... let be what will be ... and dan stayed and i am glad he did ( no doubt about it i am glad he is with me) and apparently this is where he belongs God has made that clear... But the loss of my friend to virtually the same issue -- dans intestines/colon area that was what was popping in and out of the hernia and just today the surgeon told me it had a little discoloration but was all living tissue. and now we all question the true source of the sepsis... was it the UTI or the herniation of the bowel -- i lean towards herniation of the bowel as he never really improved till after the surgery.... but now a girlfriend 36 years old with 2 small kids has passed of the same "type" of issues dan had.... Of course it is what it is... nothing to be done and spending a lot of time wondering is useless... kayla was a wonderful person who had a absolute love of christ - so - no doubt she is in a better place... it is us survivors who are left to hurt... You know I couldnt make this stuff up... one thing after another after another....rest in peace my friend Kayla .............Nancyl
