Answers:
See my answer to your other question.
FYI: postive blood cultures to not indicate sepsis. The root infection that caused the sepsis can be from anywhere. + Blood cultures just indicate that there is an infection in the blood which is different from sepsis. You can have an infection in the blood, just like an infection anywhere else, that is limited only to that system.
The source of your mom's sepsis is her perforated bowel, which leaked stool into her abdominal cavity.
Please be careful asking questions online. I've noticed people have given you false informantion, and you chose one as "Best Answer" that stated that sepsis was an infection in the blood. That is false information, that sounds very true. Everyone means well here, and I believe that they are only trying to help. Please ask your nurses and doctors.
As I said, see my answer to your other question--that should answer all your questions. E-mail me by clicking my avitar if you have any additional questions.

Sounds like it to me.........
