curious if I may impose on the professional health folks on here: [View all]

My sister in law was found unresponsive Thursday evening by her son. About a week before that she had an infection and was given antibiotics, some how things didn't work out. She was brought to the hospital and they said it was sepsis. I know what that is, but now they are saying it is c dif what ever that is. Can some one explain to me. She had her colon removed and they said she would be in a coma for about another week also a new complication arose and she has blood clots in her leg and the docs are saying that they are going to do surgery but if it doesn't work, she may lose her leg. This all sounds rather drastic to me. Any thoughts?
