Death.. A miracle of love…

She’d brought him in, her husband of 65 years.. 90 she’d turned & 85 he would soon be or wouldn’t, he fears..

His heart was racing, blood pressure low.. She said, ‘you’ll be just ok honey.. you aren’t even as old as me, don’t you know’..

Seems like an infection, causing septic shock.. Source isn’t too clear yet, fever & high white count, so far lungs & urine normal look..

Headache, nausea, neck stiffness too.. Aggressive hydration, empiric antibiotics, a spinal tap after brain imaging we might have to do..

He needs to be on isolation.. As it could be a pretty serious, contagious infection!

The blood pressure wouldn’t respond to fluids or albumin.. Tachycardia was worse & lethargy set in..

Transferred he was soon to the ICU.. he was quite unstable.. She said, alright I’ll take off, will be back tomorrow, to see him sometime, in the afternoon if…
