@colleenyoung My wife brought me into ER Saturday night with nausea a and chills. The did several blood tests including a blood culture, gave me meds for the nausea and sent me home. Sunday after lunch the hospital called and said I had an E. coli blood infection. They told me I had to come back to be admitted the hospital. They ran numerous tests and can't find the source of the infection. They put in a tunnel cath this morning and are talking about giving me antibiotics daily for 2 weeks. If they can get everything arranged, I will be going home this afternoon

@marvinjsturing Hello Marvin,
I'm sorry to hear about the E coil blood infection. Were you able to get home this afternoon? Praying that all goes well for you!

It's just not a smooth ride, is it?! I took my husband to our local ER Sunday night and he was transported to Mayo right away - blood loss and cultures indicated infections, which he also had while in the hospital three weeks ago for his Whipple procedure. Everything in recovery was going well until this episode. Eating fine after Whipple but it seemed tough to gain any weight and energy - maybe it was because the infections were still there, who knows! Hopefully he'll get back on track after this visit and not have another emergency. They are still not sure what caused the sudden bleeding but he'll remain in their care until they have some answers. Nothing appears to be leaking on scans. It sure is a drag not being there for him.
