I had Sepsis, pneumonia, MRSA and went into 2 grade 3 Comas. I was given a 1-2% survival rate. My kidneys failed so I was put on dialysis and my other organs were failing. The Drs told my family I would die. It’s now been 4 months since I left the hospital and apart from memory loss and mobility issues I’m doing far, far better than expected. I hope your uncle gets well soon xox
