Back ground info uncle taken in 3 weeks ago with infection which led to m.o.f had dyalisis worked now needs it again It's currently day 5 with no sedation and he has followed a few of the family commands. However he has a temperature of 40 and his heart rate sometimes can go as high as 186. Everytime we feel we get somewhere with him something else seems to go wrong :-( now they are talking about doing a lumbar puncture tomorrow morning. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Please help
