?: What is the question? Your father in law sounds very sick, if he's been hospitalized for almost a month, and a multidrug resistant klebsiella pneumonia could be the cause of that. There still isn't a question to answer.

OK...: Well, the fib is likely a combination of his age and the fact that he's got an acute illness. Mdr k.P is a bummer. They'll do special testing to see what antibiotics still work against the bug, then start him on that. Good luck.
