Iceresistance Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 I'm in severe shock right now, my great uncle-in-law who has cancer has been admitted to the ICU this morning with Sepsis. Now he's going downhill very fast. 6 Quote Never say Never with Weather, because anything is possible!

Iceresistance Posted October 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 Just found out they have put him into basically a chemically induced coma and will put in a lot of antibiotics to fight the Sepsis because his cancer chemotherapy has reduced the number of cancer cells he's having. They are hoping (and praying) that he will live long enough for his body to conquer the infection. 2 Quote Never say Never with Weather, because anything is possible!

Iceresistance Posted November 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 I do have an update before bedtime unless something crazy happens. He is not in a Coma, but on a Ventilator. He can communicate with his wife (My Great Aunt), but not verbally. It also appears that he's doing slightly better, but that can't be too sure about it. They may have caught it just in time.

My brother in law has been in the hospital and was admitted into ICU He’s still there. A bad heart, lung congestion and diabetic. Not good. I keep waiting for the phone to ring in the middle of the night. Theres something about Fall that challenges peoples health. I hope he rallies and improves. A very difficult time. I’m sorry.

Iceresistance Posted November 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 I'm sorry to say this, but my uncle-in-law gone. They had to take him off the ventilator because his wife (and possibly him) requested to do so because the Sepsis inside him was spreading, and his lungs were filling up with fluids faster than it could be drained. 6 Quote Never say Never with Weather, because anything is possible!

I know, it's just my late grandfather 2 days from today 1 year ago. When he was confirmed with the Terminal Cancer in Late October 2021, he refused treatment because it would only extend his suffering. He was ready to go.

Definitely a fear I have. Just gotta keep on going whatever happens. I am sorry to hear this. I know we go back and forth about stuff on the politics forum, but this genuinely made me sad to read. I lost my mom to cancer as well when I was in college. It was very tough, and honestly took me about 10 years to truly process in a realistic way and come to terms with. We were very close, and for many years I pretended it did not bother me and put off the grieving process in a way that ate me up inside. Our family was very close and she was the glue that held us together, we have never been the same in the 16 years since her passing, I miss that.
