Probiotics

Probiotics were mentioned today by the ID. The diarrhea is out of control. It is not getting better.
Leif allowed me to help in the diaper changing. It is basically thick blood. 

Probiotic questions:
1) As a last ditch attempt to help his gut is it possible to take Leif off all antibiotics and aggressively try probiotics to try and stop the Diarrhea? 
2) Is it possible to add probiotics without stopping the antibiotics?

Sepsis Questions:
1) What is the possibility of sepsis now?
2) What would be the possibility of sepsis without antibiotics but with probiotics?
3) What is the chance of sepsis with antibiotics and probiotics?

Is there an expert on this anywhere that could be consulted?

triggers

I had been thinking i needed to leave. Mary had gotten snappy at me and I felt so ragged.  Help has dropped off so I need to rally some people for when I leave. Everything triggers both of them. its just so sad here. tonight we ate thai food and I  got them to watch an episode of brain dead- not terribly successful. then eric went to bed and mary and i binge watched fleabag. Corbin the neighborhood cat came in and lay down on the couch between him. Mary is allergic but pet him anyway. I can here her weeping in her bedroom. eric is with her now. I have to remember I am holding on by a thread. Today I posted a picture on facebook of  eric and mary lying on the floor by the crematorium oven while leif burned. I hadn't posted in a while. this is what I wrote: This is such a hard picture to post: My friends Mary and Eric lying on the floor after pushing an open box containing their son Leif into the crematorium oven. Eric had made a small wooden viking ship for Leif's bo...

the Lego arsinal

What Leif wants What leif has Lego guns are tiny parts. Not the tiniest, but pretty damn small. I have spent the better part of two days sorting through Leif's Lego collection in search of all weapons but especially guns.  Some of the other weapons include spears, swords and battle axes, but then I couldn't help but think of things that could be weapons like shovels and pitchforks and how about a broom? there are throwing stars but how about propellers? Skill saws seem a definite yes. Horns? A scorpion? What if the flowers were just a different kind of throwing star? And eyeballs could be bullets that see where they are going. A banana? a fantastically subtle weapon. But then Leif wanted "real" weapons not my made up nonsense. So i thin sliced the selection into little baggies, one with only real actual bona fide guns, one with legitimate Lego brand weapons, and then a third with what I called weaponizable parts. I found Mary on the floor crying, franti...

tomorrow's plan

what tomorrow looks like. the funeral vehicle will arrive at the hospital at 10 am. there will be paperwork to be done. When that is ready the hospital will wrap Leif in a sheet and wheel him and Mary down to the vehicle. He will be then wrapped in another sheet (not a plastic body bag) for transport to Fernwood Cemetery in Mill Valley. Once there Mary should be able to stay with Leif. Paperwork will need to be done. At that time they will be given the option to cremate or bury. My understanding is that cremation takes a few days due to paperwork but burial can be immediate. Please let me know if that is not the case. Mary and Leif will stay in an airbnb in the area. within 4 days cremation will take place. Mary and Eric will be present and able to watch.  During the 4 days we hope they will be able to consider what they want to do. I think mary will want her friends to visit her at Fernwood daily and Eric will have the opportunity to hike and be alone in nature. Volunteers ...
