Prayers/Thoughts Needed

[NolaNole9]

Not sure if I let you all know that my dad suffered a major stroke three years ago, but anyway, he has been battling with UTI's for about the past 6 months. Due to the high volume of antibiotics he's been on and multiple hospital visits, his immune system has been compromised and he has caught a really bad antibiotic resistant bacterial infection that is causing his kidneys fail. We met with the Family Support nurse today for the dreaded DNR talk. Anyway, any thoughts/prayers would be much appreciated.

It was multiple strokes and all the things that follow that caused my mother's death last month. I know the path you're walking and can sympathize.

Are you sure it was a UTI? I thought I had one for several months, turned out to be a prostate issue, it just radiates to make it feel like one. So all the antibiotics that I was given wouldn't do anything since that wasn't the issue..

Thinking of you and your family. Those talks are so hard but it's best for everyone to express their wishes. It may not seem like it now but you will one day be glad you had that difficult conversation.
Blessings, Dee

My Grandma went through similar issues after multiple strokes with UTI's before passing away last summer so I understand how hard that has to be for y'all. Sending my best wishes and hoping for the best for your father and your family.
