Sepsis Awareness Month

Did you know September is sepsis awareness month?

Do you know what sepsis is?  

Sepsis is a life-threatening medical emergency caused by your body’s overwhelming response to an infection. Without urgent treatment, it can lead to tissue damage, organ failure and death.   There is sepsis, severe sepsis and septic shock.  Septic shock only has about 30-40% survival rate 

My husband had it twice while fighting an infection and while going thru chemo.  It was super scary.  At one point, he was put on a ventilator for a little over 24 hours.  That was over 3 years ago.
