Hi run4peach1,
“Early, aggressive treatment boosts your chances of surviving sepsis … Treatment with antibiotics begins immediately — even before the infectious agent is identified”.

Since I had neutropenic fever Sept 2007 I control my temperature twice a day. Then I follow my neutrophils carefully and when they are low I actually go to the hospital every day till they are more than 1.5. When I tried drugs for iron overload (not Desferal) my neutrophils decreased and I was taking Neupogen every day instead of 2 injections/week.
Hope they have managed to select antibiotics that will help your father!
Kind regards
