How long does it take to recover from sepsis?
My mom got gastric bypass and they nicked her intestines and didn’t realize it. Well the next day she got very sick and went into sepsis. She has been in ICU now for 22 days and is still running a fever and is still asleep. They have "cleaned" her out 8 times now. I wonder if she will ever get better and if she does, how long is it gonna take?

Unfortunately there is no way to know how long recovery will take. Some patients turn the corner to recovery quickly and others may take longer. This depends on their overall health and what is causing the sepsis. Every patient reacts differently.
Speak to her doctors, they may be able to give you some answers.
