My fiancee is very sick.

[TurboSE]

fellow Zilvians,

My fiancee was recently diagnosed with Sepsis after a recent surgery. She has been in the hospital since Monday and hasn't showed many signs of improvement. She has been on various antibiotics and hasn't made much if any progress. The dr's, are running low on options. We're trying to stay positive, we have plans to marry in April. I'm having a lot of trouble dealing with this. I should be her protector, and right now I am helpless...I am not even allowed to see her.

She is my best friend and one of my only friends.

I don't want to step on toes or be inappropriate by asking for prayers, but if you have any good vibes to spare, she could use all the help she can get.

[Masa]

i wish you and her the best. keep being positive, don't lose hope!

[Sneaky Sims]

i wish you and her the best. keep being positive, don't lose hope!

Hope the best for you.

[don_bagz]

try to look up "fruits and vegetable juices" book. tells you which vegetable has the biggest on boosting up immune system. found the recipe in there that helped get rid of my brothers brain cancer with out any type of surgery. all natural. im not sayin its 100 percent, but, it might be better than no options at all.. good luck man.. must be really scary for both of you to be isolated from each other.

[conrad_s13.5]

im not much of a praying man,....but i'll pray for ya!

[Weedm]

I can't imagine how it feels to be in your shoes.. Hang in there and be strong. She will be alright.

On another note, I think it would be a good idea to include her name in the description.

[Jonnie Fraz]

Hang on buddy! Sending some good vibes your way.

Im praying dude. Look to god

"I assess the power of a will by how much resistance, pain, torture it endures and knows how to turn to its advantage"
— Friedrich Nietzsche

love can be an overwhelming antidote, fight through the pain and show her how unconditional your feelings truly are.

Op, if its possible can you send me your address (via pm), we would like to send your fiancee and yourself some gifts of hope and positivity.

[KPNITRL]

Best wishes and stay positive

[rbpwr]

i have no clue as to who you are, but through the body of christ were all brothers. my prayers go out to you and youre family.

[TurboSE]

Many more thanks, the support you've all showed is overwhelming.

There hasn't been much change in her condition. The Dr's told her today that they'd like to operate on what might be abscesses at the point of her surgery. The downside is, they have anesthetize her and with a fever hovering around 104* she might not wake up. The flip side is that they put her on a central line to help get the medicine to her more quickly so her fever doesn't burn it up. However, she is already having heart and kidney issues and depending on the effectiveness of the meds, her condition could continue to worsen.

We're doing a lot of soul searching, trying to figure out which way to go on this decision.

[jodett]

Don't give up. I'll be praying for the both of you, and that god will give the doctors wisdom in their operation. stay strong.

[azndoc]

Good luck and my prayer goes out to her and to a fast recovery.

[Future240]

You are in my prayers as well, I do hope everything turns out ok for both of you.

[spinitsidewayz]

Stay strong bro. Best wishes to both of you.

[Audio Puppet]

Dude i wish you and her the best. When she recovers send us invites to your weeding.

[cardoza]

Wishing the absolute best of luck to you and her. Just encourage her to keep fighting and to be strong and that will mean the world to her. Definitely will keep you and her in my thoughts and prayers.

[Tokona-x]

Keep your head up man I wish best for both of you and you both will be in my prayers.

Painful news to hear about a loved one. Have they put her on dialysis at all?

You, your fiancée, and family are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that you get to post up some good news soon!

[speeddream]

I hope your fiance gets better from this point on. Your situation is very unfortunate, but if the sun is not shinning in your area, we will blow all the clouds from the sky so it can shine down upon the both of you. Like other people have mentioned already stay strong and positive brotha. She will get better.

[tqstarburst]

Don't let anything get to you man. No negative thoughts at all. God will know what's best.. Once april hits here send all zilvians and invitation to your wedding brotha! That be one sick s-chassis wedding!

Best of luck to you both

[Zach-sr]

Best of luck to you both. I couldn't imagine going through this myself.

[TurboSE]

Well, we decided to wait and see if the new meds made any difference and possibly have the surgery this afternoon. She was informed by the dr. this morning that her kidneys are in bad shape and that combined with her fever makes the surgery too risky. So now we're putting our faith and hopes in the antibiotics. She's having a hard time staying positive with the seemingly endless stream of bad news.

Your thoughts and prayers mean the world to us both...please keep us in them as we push through these dark times.

[Tempo]

a prayer and best wishes to you man, hope she gets well and you two live a long happy life.

Ya I would ask about dialysis. If her kidneys are in bad shape it might help lighten the load on them. Especially since they're pumping her full of meds. Again, keep your head up and stay positive. You will get through this together

[highwaystar22]

My thoughts and prayers go out to you man. Stay strong and I hope she pulls through. G-d always has a was to sort it, even though we don't see the full plan.

[ms!3]

prayer goes out to you man. sorry you have to go through this :(

[deedilus]

All my prayers go out to you and your fiancee. I hope she pulls through this.

[TurboSE]

I forgot to mention, they are discussing the idea of dialysis...I'm not sure if they have decided to go through with it or not. I think she should be on it as well.

We are both grateful for the thoughts and prayers of all the members of Zilvia and we would like to thank you and wish the best to you and your families as well.

[dsastr_clan]

GOOD VIBES FROM SLC-UTAH BRO, hope the best for you two

[bboyswoosh87]

Prayer to you and your wife I hope the best for you both

[TurboSE]

No dialysis until her fever comes down. The one positive side to this whole series of horrific events is that when she gets home we will share a bond stronger than most people can ever imagine.

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

my sister is an RN and just from her stories about life in the ER, i've learned to never underestimate the human will. stay strong for each other! she will pull through!

[ViciousCesar!]

i hope everything turns out ok for you two. if you can find a way to transfer any of my good karma points your way, they are yours. stay positive bro.

[TurboSE]

Thank you all for the wishes, she's been keeping up with the thread and she is very touched at the outpouring of support from people she's never met. As of Friday morning, her kidney's have gotten worse and her fever has risen higher. The doctor's have started dialysis and they have been giving her periodic ice baths to try and keep her temperature down. The latest plan is to bathe her at 1, 3 and 5am followed by surgery at 6. It is a very risky procedure considering her weakened state, but her options are growing limited. Please, if you're reading this, take a moment out to send her a good thought or two.

[jesse_s13]

Hope she gets better, stay strong.

[Probaholic1]

stay strong to both of you, I wish the best.

[alesserfate]

I wish that it all works out for you guys.

[Quail]

My thoughts are with you and your fiance. Stay strong, I really hope things improve.

[kouki-gymkhana]

My prayers go out to you, man. As someone who works in the ICU and in the OR I know what you are dealing with. As risky as it may sound, the surgery is probably the only thing that can get her infection under control. The antibiotics will not work if she has a significant abscess and it must be drained if they are to get things under control. If she is young and otherwise healthy, the need for dialysis should be temporary and her kidneys will likely recover. I take it from your post that she is not intubated (does not have a breathing tube) so all things considered, it could be worse.

The fever doesn´t ¨burn up¨the antibiotics, as you mentioned. Rather, they want to place a central line because they can give stronger, more potent antibiotics through a central line than through a regular IV. Also, she may be experiencing such a high fever from a reaction to one of the meds she´s receiving. This could also contribute to her renal failure. Ask the MDs what they think about this possibility. It won´t hurt!

Also, depending upon where the abcesses are, it is possible for an Interventional Radiologist to place drains in them without her having to receive a general anesthetic. You can ask them that too!

Good luck and I hope she pulls through!

[initial_jc]

I hope you get better. You have people rooting for you, Stay Strong!

[TurboSE]

kouki-gymkhana, thank you for the insight, very informative.

She had the surgery this morning and is currently in recovery. I'm very happy she made it...the down side is that the Dr.s failed to find any obvious sourceof infection, so now I'm not sure what our options are. Relying on the meds has become a scary and unnerving idea due to their lack of success thus far. Thank you to all of our friends on Zilviafor the uplifting messages and thoughts, I believe that part of the reason she pulled through the operation is because of all the people in her corner. Thank you all from the bottoms of our hearts.

[Kouki_Love]

Stay strong and keep thinking positive. She will pull through and you two will have an amazing life. Ill keep you guys in my prayers.

Glad she made it well out of surgery. Don't ever rule out getting a second opinion from another unaffiliated hospital/doctor if they are unable to properly diagnose her.

[TurboSE]

We talked about that, would she just tell her Dr. that she wants a second diagnosis?


As of now, she's back in the ICU...still out of it because of the sedatives. They're trying to wake her slowly as to not cause shock to her weakened body. While they didn't find any obvious signs of infection, they removed a lot of bones chips from her back and are going to start her on antibiotics again soon.

[Gnnr]

I have no idea how you would go about that. Maybe a more knowledgeable Zilvian can chime on that one. Best wishes to you and your fiancee!

As of this morning, she's still very sick from the anesthesia. It looks like we're on a "wait and see" plan with the antibiotics. I hate feeling so helpless.

[2402NV]

Keep faith up! Thats the strongest medication for anybody. As long as you show her your positive and strong, she will feed off you. Good luck.

[k.man]

dont worry too much, she will get better. my prayers goes out to you guys

[ericcastro]

Yeah, that anestetic is gnarly stuff.
But sounds like the surgery went well.

Still sending the good thoughts your way.
Hopin for a speedy recovery from the surgery.

[EDacIouSX]

I hope I never have to go through what you are going through.... hopefully everything turns out alright. Pretty scary to be in a situation like that.

[ecopp1991]

I hope everything ends up alright man, and your not helpless you are helping by supporting and praying for her .. and you both have prayers from me

[keistyle]

Be her drive. Sometimes a loving touch does more than any medicine can. I sincerely hope she gets better.

[TurboSE]

keistyle - I believe you are absolutley correct. Keeping our focus on our new life together and our Vegas wedding has really kept us strong throughout. She mentioned joining Zilvia today to share her gratitude for the positive vibes you've sent her way...honestly, I don't know why a girl as gorgeous as her, who just happens to own a 370Z Roadster isn't a member of the greatest Nissan forum on the planet already...but she isn't. Hopefully she'll chime in soon. But if not, know that we're very grateful for your support and good vibes.

[TurboSE]

Thank you all again for the get well wishes, as of yesterday, Megan was moved to a better hospital. The new hospital believes the last place missed the cause of infection in their surgery and will be operating again Tuesday. The doctors at the new hospital told her that this is the worst case of Sepsis they've ever seen and she might as well have stayed home until yesterday morning. 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.

[Future240]

That's good to hear. I hope the new doctor can get her back on her feet.

[vbgambini]

Stay positive and stay strong...get well soon! :)

[smellslikecurry]

do you know if the doctors have considered protein c treatment??

Might wanna try natural remedies... I find they often work far better than the typical approach with no side effects.

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.

^Pretty ridiculous that I have to put this, but that's what this world has come to.

PM me if you want, I promise I won't recommend anything expensive. :p 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.

do you know if the doctors have considered protein c treatment??

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.

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!!!

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.

How's her Kidney doing?

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]

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.
