Update on DH

My husband was placed back into ICU yesterday due to several different circumstances.  His blood pressure dropped to 75/30.....he had a fever.....he is still draining liquid from his chest tube.  They started him on a broad spectrum of antibiotics and now are filtering thru them to see which one is gonna kill this infection.  They did a CT scan with contrast today of his chest and abdomen to see if they can determine anything that way.  His blood pressure was up a little bit today but he still is not responding the way they want him to.  All he wants to do is sleep but they do get him up for small walks.  I'm very concerned about this infection because of his auto immune disease his body doesn't respond the way a normal person's would.  This has me scared.
