Hi Amy - shortly after my transplant I had a similar infection - and was sent to the ICU for a couple of days - very scary place to be sure. I also had fever - they put me on an oxygen mask that forced air into my lungs - just short of a ventilator, which they considered. Fortunately - the infection responded well to the antibiotics and I emerged battered but not broken - hopefully your Dad will also respond to the antibiotics and this will be just another scary bump in the road. Hang in there.
