Loading ...I lost an aunt to sepsis , almost forty years ago . She had never had children , but had about a dozen nephews and nieces . For some reason , she had the hospital contact me when she went in , even though most of the others were closer geographically .She left a very small estate , but left most of it to provide for my daughter’s education . With it , my daughter paid for her first year’s living expenses in college , and became a degreed nurse . She has used her skills to make life better for many children as an ICU nurse and later as a flight nurse for almost twenty years . Now she is in hospital administration and is getting an advanced degree as she nears retirement age .
Once your wife can start to heal , and the healing accelerates , many other functions can return. Your kindness and love will help immensely .
A few years ago there was a series of books written about the experiences of a British country veterinarian . In one of them he tells of an old farmer who had him come to put down a cow that was in extreme pain and dying . He injected the cow with a lethal dose of a strong sedative to put it out of misery . A few days later he ran into the old farmer who told him the cow had slept for two or three days , and was back on her feet . The rest and freedom from pain had allowed the animal’s defenses to recover and restored a path to health .
