After a serious accident my mother was on a ventilator and had a NG feeding tube. It was a bit questionable as to whether she would make it, she was well into her 70s at the time. She just wasn't healing and it was one setback after another. But she managed a turn around, got off the ventilator onto oxygen via nasal prongs and some actual food. It was a bit of a long haul with physio and all but she was discharged home and lived another 5 years or so. My mother didn't have any particular health problems, she was just a bit frail.
I agree with Joanne, chemo is on the back burner and they should be throwing everything possible at that infection.
I am so sorry that you and your family are going through this.
