I never looked it up before to see what C-diff stands for. Various Clostridium bacteria cause some pretty serious infections. Botulism, tetanus, and gangrene are all clostridia. At Wikipedia, I read that the infection is caused by antibiotics killing the good intestinal bacteria, allowing it to grow out of control. So that's probably why he has this.

Uncle Howard is home again. They are giving him some very powerful antibiotics. His son Dave thinks he's better, but not much. It will probably be a slow recovery.

I guess this is somewhat good news. We will still be praying.
