Health

This is very complicated stuff. Sepsis is one thing and C. diff is something else entirely. C. diff (Clostridium difficile) is one of those horrible things that attacks you when your systems are already compromised, and probably in her case also because of the antibiotics killing off all the good bacteria in her gut as well as what it was supposed to fight (or instead of what it was supposed to fight!). The blood clots in the leg are a secondary thing to all this and probably a post-op complication. This sounds like one of those awful situations we sometimes encountered in ICU where one thing just led to something else. I really hope she will not have to have her leg amputated. Sending light to you and yours.
