I'm pretty furious at the previous institution's inadequate treatment. The new Dr.s seem much more optimistic about her treatment and they think I might be able to see her later this week. I'm very excited to see my girl and for her speedy recovery. Once again, thank you for the kind thoughts and prayers, please keep them coming as the upcoming surgery still has a fair amount of risk attached to it.

Wow, see what I told you. Sometimes you need another opinion from an outside hospital. Still wishing you and Megan the best!

good to hear that you guys got a second opinion done. Hopefully the new hospital gets her taken care of with a quickness!!!

Garlic is highly effective against bacteria/virus/infection. As long as it doesn't contradict any of your medication, I recommend eating (and chewing well) many cloves of the stuff raw. This is what I do if I ever get sick (usually virus) and I'm usually better within 24 hours. Last time I did it I had a 101 degree fever, took a bunch of garlic (must be raw, fresh, and chewed well) and woke up in the morning with my bed drenched in sweat, no fever, feeling fine. I literally sweated it out.

Now, your situation does sound more serious. I would still look into natural/homeopathic remedies though... they can be very powerful. Most pharmaceutical drugs are actually derived from plant/animal sources. (they just add a bunch of poisonous shit, package it, and sell it for way too much)

Garlic can be used in place of antibiotics... but your situation seems to call for something more drastic. Please, do some internet research.

I don't know what the doctors are saying but you probably want to reintroduce good bacteria after you get better because the antibiotics kill them all. This can be done with probiotic supplements (which can be dangerous if you don't get the right ones) or more simply, bovine colostrum, or live, homemade fermented food like sauerkraut.

That's the problem with natural or homeopathic remedies - they generally can't be profited upon.

corbin definitely good advice for when shes back home but i dont think introducing probiotics in a septic patient is safe at this moment.

probiotics are generally safe when theye in the GI tract but i dont think we know enough about disease state and co-morbidities to recommend them.

I have read about Protein C online, I'm not sure if it has been considered, but it does show promise in the treatment of Sepsis. I think I'll show Megan some info on it and maybe she can run it by her Dr's.

I'm really happy she was transferred as well, along with a better plan, the Dr's seem to have a much better bedside manner. My main concern is her getting better and coming home to me...a close second is her feeling comfortable with the people treating her and not being scared. That's the hardest part, knowing that the most important person in my life is scared and all I can offer is words.

I agree. Holisitic methods saved my brother's life, but Megan's condition is better left to Dr's for now IMO. I will keep the suggestions in mind for when she's home and safe, and I appreciate the help.

Happy to hear that she was moved to a better hospital. Make sure the RT keeps an eye on her.

Things are still up in the air, Megan and I have some pretty scary decisions to make in the near future. You've all shown us so much support, please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. She is so strong, but these past few weeks have really been weighing on her heart and mind. Any good vibes you can send her way are still very much appreciated.

DrftKingIII · 03-04-2011, 03:15 PM

Damnit, Im tearing up in a public place.

Glad to see that things are looking up. Keep strong and you both will make it through this. +2 on the prayers for you both.

TurboSE · 03-09-2011, 12:28 AM

Please everyone, say a special prayer for my girl this morning and keep her in your thoughts today, she's having a very in-depth surgery and she needs all the positive vibes she can get! I love you Megan, you're my everything.
