Judy Dexter’s story is sadly common. She was admitted to the hospital in December 2012 for difficulty breathing. Upon learning that she had a lung infection, Judy was prescribed antibiotics. Three days later, she was suffering from persistent diarrhea. The following six months were hellish for the Dexter family as they struggled to save the woman they considered the “family matriarch.” It’s well-worth reading the entire story to see how fiercely they fought to save Judy, who ultimately succumbed to C. diff on May 3o, 2013.
