Welcome Desi! Christine is sharing great information for you! If possible I would go with your Mother and ask about the antibiotics and how treatment is progressing for her. If not, then call and try to talk or schedule a time to call back when her doctor might be available. One very important thing Christine drove home, keep her nourished and hydrated. And anything past that 2,500 calories is bonus points! As your body is fighting it is burning an extreme amount of calories so more is better right now! No questions for her medical team should be out of bounds for them to answer so ask away. Knowledge is power! Prayers and all my best.
