Linda,

Your husband's situation sounds serious. Presumably, because he is in he hospital, the doctors are aware of his bleeding and diarrhea. The problems could be caused by the infection itself, the drugs they are giving your husband to fight the infection, or even a low platelet count. I haven't had these particular symptoms, but I would be asking what is being done to find out why this is happening. Staying in the hospital until all of this is resolved certainly sounds wise.

Let us know how your husband is doing.

Regards,
Ruth
