Ever since i was in the hospital with sepsis i have noticed i get sick more often. is t his coincidental or related?

Unsure: You don't say how long ago your sepsis episode was, but sepsis is a serious assault to the system. It taxes your immune system. It can take a long time to rebound from that. It doesn't surprise me that you have increased vulnerability to colds, etc. Concentrate on maximizing your health with good nutrition, adequate sleep, and regular exercise.

An elderly relative in hospital had a result of "Vacuolated Neutrophils +". I understand that this can be an early sign of sepsis. He's only had this test once but 6 days later he doesn't seem to be any worse. He hasn't been on Abx. I'm at a loss..
