Update on my husband. Plural effusion ,fluid around his lungs. Chest tube in place and its almost stopped producing fluid. This past Friday took him to ER for what he thought was a UTI . Turns out to be a blood infection, scrratia marcescenes bacteria. He is in the hospitial getting antibiotics and they are watching him close. We were told that the chemo that he is getting is the last one for him . Because of this infection he has missed a treatment. How does this affect his treatment or is it to risky for him to continue ? This is so hard on us both physically and mentally.
I think having a positive attitude makes a big difference in how things work out in a person's life but at times I find myself wondering if this is to much for his body to fight. I believe this bacteria can be found to happen with medical procedures at a hospitial. I'm feeling like crying but I can't give in to that because he needs me to be strong now more than ever .
