Loading ...The megacolon rupture is what just about killed my wife a couple of months ago.
After the colon ruptures like that the sepsis takes hold and is what kills most people, why my wife survived is really beyond me. While she was in the ICU, there was a woman who was 20 years younger who came into ICU after becoming septic and died two days later.
My wife has been home for a week after a 2 1/2 month stay in the hospital. Still very weak, with another surgery to follow probably in the next six months or so. I’m not sure mentally she’ll ever be quite the same, although in some ways that’s not necessarily a bad thing, as the way she treated her brain and body before getting sick was why she got sick in the first place.
Hope all is well for you!
