zzelle Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 My husband started getting sick on Wednesday night. Went to doctor on Thursday said he had influenza. Friday night at 5:30 he said please take me to ER they took blood work, blood culture, EKG, x-ray, CT scan, his temp was 103. Found out he has pneumonia and bacteria in his blood. Thought he had blood clots gave hima shot in stomach for blood thinners. They don't know what is causing bacterial infection so he is still in hospital. Getting breathing treatments also. Please pray 5 Quote Link to comment

Ambergris Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 This sounds oddly like what is going on with my nephew. Treating him for bacterial pneumonia, but don't know what's going on. Is this going around, do you know? Quote Link to comment
zzelle Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 He is home they put him on a very strong antibiotic and so far so good. I praise God that he is doing better. I think it is Levaquin is the antibiotic 6 Quote Link to comment
Mt_Rider Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Good to hear, ZZelle. Been praying for him. Sounds so serious. I haven't heard of anything in our area, Ambergris. Are the big weather systems stirring up ....stuff? I've had bronchial congestion [successfully keeping it clear so far] since April. Will pray your nephew too. MtRider 1 Quote Link to comment

This drug caused tendonitis in my left leg! My provider tried to dismiss the idea that it was linked to the antibiotic, but I "proved" to her that she was wrong. Anyway, Google the drug and check out the side effects to keep a lookout for. (Yes, the tendonitis resolved itself shortly after stopping the drug.) 2 1 Quote Link to comment
kappydell Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Still praying for a good steady recovery for your husband, and strength & peace for everyone else. It is frightening when a spouse is hospitalized. Worse yet when there is no clear cause for health issues. Been there, done that (as quite a few of us have) and our hearts are with you! 2 Quote Link to comment
