4th stage bedsore and bacterial infection resistant to antibiotics

Hi my friend had an accident and she got 5 fractures below her hip. she is 76 year old. Doctors did the surgeries and put the rods in. After three weeks she got bed sores in her back. Bedsore was so bad doctors had debridement and it went to her bone and got sepsis. Now her infection went to bone and blood she also had lungs infection, vancomycin-resistant enterococci and ecoli infection. She also got bedsore on her heels. It smells really bad from her bedsore. Her blood pressure is 100/56 or low. She cannot talk and swallow. she had a food pipe. The put urine catheter and Stool tube. All the antibiotics are resistant to the bacterial infection. what are chances is there any treatment.
