Sepsis nearly took everything—here’s what saved Lily
A healthy 23-year-old triathlete, Lily McGarry, lost all four limbs to sepsis after what started as a simple sore throat. Her friends’ quick thinking—insisting she go to the hospital—likely saved her life. Lily’s story is a powerful reminder: sepsis can strike anyone, and early action is crucial. She’s now focused on recovery, aiming to return to sports with prosthetics, and her community has rallied to support her. If you ever feel sicker than a typical bug, don’t wait—get checked. Have you or someone you know had a close call with sepsis or a sudden illness? #Health #BodyHealth #SepsisAwareness

I've had sepsis 3x and my daughter who's a CNA called it every time. She even fought with my Dr over it, the Dr said I had the flu but my daughter insisted on tests, long story short the nurse said it was wonderful that she insisted on the tests because in another 24hrs I'd have been dead. The next 2x I just went to the hospital when she said I had it.

Unfortunately, I lost my niece from a severe sepsis😢 last month. She had a UTI for 3 days and didn't go to the doctor until it was too late. She is still nursing her baby before she passes. 🤍🕊

my oldest daughter almost died from it after she picked up an internal infection during her surgery and the Dr kept blowing her off and never even checked for an infection. she is alive and doing relatively well after three years but still has residual issues from it.

Michaela, My great niece died from the same thing! It came on fast, she was using Monastat OTC but she turned sepsis and died at 28 years old.
