It was the most horrifying thing to see him....I went 2 weeks ago....he hardly got out of the bed....and there is a faraway look in his eyes...he talked some...but the cancer had eaten all the way down to the end of his chin so talking was hard...and eating ...well let's just say I didnt do much eating in my 2 days there.....he seems to go up and down in his health....he hardly got out of bed when we were there but his sister came to visit and he stayed up the whole day...I have a friend that is a nurse and she advised me that he probably has sepsis since the wound is exposed ...the smell was atrocious....and fluid just pours out of the hole in his face....with blood tinge...what a nightmare.....any thoughts from anyone on the sepsis thing? thanks for any advise.....my thoughts to all.....
