My husband had several UTIs in a short time amount of time. (Sepsis and Urinary Tract Infections) At his last urgent care, the doctor told him he has feces in his urine and to make an appointment with a urologist, so we did. But on 1/02/23 my husband woke up shaking uncontrollably and had a fever of 103.3. I took him back to the urgent care where they took his BP, which was 85/60. The nurse told me to take him to the ER immediately.

When we arrived at the ER, they took him back right away. They did all the tests imaginable and found he had fistula and was in septic shock. (Sepsis and Septic Shock) His heart rate maintained at 225 and his oxygen dropped so they started pushing the antibiotics through. Finally, after several hours, his heart rate started to drop. He remained in the hospital for 6 days and still needs to have surgery to repair the fistula. I thank God he is better, but he still has a long way to go for a full recovery. Please pray for the love of my life. Thank you!!
