Please help! keeps getting infections!?

My boyfriend has been in icu now for 11 days now from a xanax overdose( he threw up in his sleep and aspirated it into his lungs and it gave him bad pneumonia). And. While the 4th day in there he got staph and strep infections. well he had to get put on a ventilator to help him breathe and yesterday he actually got well enoughs to get off. And then after they took the tube out of his throat...he started feeling alot of pain in his right thigh and they ran alot of tests and found nothing...maybe its a sciatic nerve or something??? Anyways, last night the took blood and found that his white blood cell count is elevated so now they think he has yet another damn infection....all from the hospital...! Is this normal? For him to keep getting infections like this...now he's back on the ventilator and highly sedated so that he doesn't feel pain and they can work on the infection...help...I am so scared...
