Leo’s infection, which had been stubbornly resistant to antibiotics and threatening to reach his kidneys, had suddenly and inexplicably begun to subside. The doctors were baffled. How could such an aggressive infection show signs of improvement without surgical intervention?
We were all relieved but confused. The test results showed that Leo’s white blood cell count was normalizing, and the dangerous pathogens we feared were spreading seemed to have diminished significantly. The antibiotics, previously thought ineffective, appeared to be working after all.
The hospital buzzed with disbelief and curiosity. Doctors and nurses speculated about what could have caused this sudden turnaround. Was it a delayed reaction to the medication? An error in the initial test results? Or something more mysterious at play?
