BRUNSWICK, GA-- Health officials in Georgia are still waiting for test results to confirm whether three E. Coli cases came from the same source.
Officials expected the test results Monday, but learned it will have to wait a few more days.
Officials have already confirmed the three cases are of the same strain. The strain is potentially deadly.
A 68 year old Glynn County man, diagnosed with the bacteria, is fighting for his life. The family has asked us not to identify him.
His daughter tells First Coast News her father is doing better. Doctors told her last week he most likely would not survive. He was on life support and his kidneys had shut down.
Delaney La Rosa now says her father is surprising everyone. He came off life support Sunday night and his kidneys are now functioning.
La Rosa says her dad is in a semi-coma because of brain swelling.
She also says her family is anxious for the test results and want to know whether the three cases are connected.
The test results are expected to be in by Wednesday.
