Yes, diabetes. Diabetic sores that won't heal and got infected, even in the bone. He has been battling it since July, was in the hospital for 2-3 months. The high-powered antibiotics caused his kidneys to shut down, and he lost his hearing! He was on dialysis for 3 months, a bipap for about 2 months to help him breathe. He is off the bipap and dialysis now.
He went to rehab about 8 weeks ago, where he reopened the sores in the first week and they sent him home. They became infected again, and here we are.
