Kennedy is going to be on @wxyzdetroit tonight at 6 pm!!! I asked her several times if she was okay with it, if she wanted to be on camera, including her whole face, and she didn’t hesitate to say yes!!! She made me so freaking proud. It was really hard to hold back all the tears watching her speak. She continues to be so brave and so resilient and I can’t believe I get to be her mama. @sarahmichals thank you so much for coming and spending your afternoon with us! I’m so excited you got to meet Kennedy and bond over golden retrievers. 💛 #kennedywarriorprincess #sepsis #sepsisawareness #sepsissurvivor #necrotizingfasciitis #necrotizingfasciitissurvivor #necrotizingfasciitisawareness

I’ve been speaking to a lot of Sepsis Survivors recently and one thing I’ve noticed is that a lot of the signs and symptoms of one thing can be the same as another, and sometimes we focus on just one thing when there’s possibly lots going on. Remember: you’re not just a Sepsis Survivor, you’re a human. You can have more than your ‘recovery’ going on. 🥗 Maybe you’re not eating right and that’s causing some symptoms to become worse. 😢 Maybe you’re isolating and the lack of human connection / fresh air / sunlight / movement is making things more difficult to deal with. 🧬 Maybe your hormones have taken a hit and you just can’t be bothered keep up with self care … or your anxiety is so bad that you can’t think straight. 🦠 Maybe the infection that caused the sepsis is still there and causing you problems. Keep an open mind, and keep up with your self care 😁 Me: ✅ Septic shock survivor 🤒 ✅ PTSD 😱 ✅ Post Sepsis Syndrome 😡 ✅ Recovering from QFever and Rickettsia 🦟 ✅ Peri-Menopausal 🧬 #septicshockawareness #sepsis #sepsisawareness #sepsissurvivor #septicshock #septicshocksurvivor #qfever #rickettsia #rmsf #menopause #postsepsissyndrome #pss #ptsd #recovery #sepsisrecovery #autoimmunedisease #depression #nutrition #sepsiscoach #lyme #lymedisease #tenerife #lifeaftersepsis #sepsiskills #sepsisresearch #rockymountainspottedfever #spottedfever #typhus #wellness #wellnesscoach

I want to spread awareness of sepsis everywhere! Before I contracted sepsis I never thought it could be anything like I’d experienced. I had ALL of these symptoms…. I always felt cold (I was in full blown hypothermia when the paramedics got to me), I had a urine infection, I could see paper birds on a string on my window (which weren’t there), I felt so so tired like I’d never felt such tiredness before, I couldn’t look after my daughter, but because I was so confused I didn’t even think this was sepsis, I was in excruciating pain in my joints and my head, I also was short of breath and only had 15% of one lung working. I then went into multi organ failure. My pancreas, lungs, kidneys and liver. My heart also started failing and my feet were mottling. I was so close to death. They had to intubate me in the house due to my breathing being so shallow. I was placed into an induced coma while they pumped me full of god knows what meds (cancer meds also) to try and save me. I had a treatment called ECMO which essentially saved my life but had to be transferred to Bristol for this and then they didn’t know if I would survive the journey. I woke up and couldn’t move one finger. I had to stay on the ventilator with a tracheotomy in my throat. I couldn’t speak and couldn’t move. How frustrating this was I couldn’t begin to tell you. Even if I manage to help one person, that makes me happy because nobody deserves to go through this. Please share and make people aware of the real dangers of sepsis. #SepsisAwareness #sepsissurvivor #sepsis

Day 1 Post a Selfie 🦓 Maryland girl here. My name is Jackie and I’ve had hEDS all my life but didn’t get diagnosed till my daughters did. When I was 54. Better late than never I guess. 😂 I also have POTS, Crohn’s, osteoporosis (Prednisone didn’t help- I told my doctors no more steroids. I’m done!) Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, dental problems, and half a colon. The other half was removed during an emergency surgery 3 years ago after my colon ruptured from undiagnosed diverticulitis and sent me into septic shock. I was intubated and flown to Baltimore for life saving surgery. I was in respiratory failure and heading into heart failure as they wheeled me into the OR. Sepsis almost destroyed my lungs, and half my hair fell out. I lost iron and need dental work to repair the damage. I had to learn to walk again. I used to use a wheelchair and scooter from 2014-2021, somehow losing half my colon and intensive rehab both in patient and out patient, has helped me walk better and longer. Weird huh? As if my doctors didn’t have enough to scratch their heads about me. 😂😂🤣🤣 I am a true zebra through and through. 🦓 I work part-time as a journalist, I’ve written for the Washington Post, AARP, and Reader’s Digest. My most recent article came out in Costco Connection today, on Ehlers-Danlos🤗. I love to swim, for pain relief. And I work out to strengthen my muscles to help with the POTS and EDS. As I get older, neither one gets better. So I’m trying to do my best to stay upright and keep both feet on THIS planet 😂 I’ve been disabled since 2012. ♿️💪🏻 I’m also a sepsis advocate and an Ehlers-Danlos advocate. I’m raising my voice this month for EDS Awareness. #ehlersdanlossyndrome #zebrastrong #ehlersdanlosawareness #sepsissurvivor #halfacolonstillrollin #invisibledisability #invisibleillness

It’s okay to not be okay. This has been our mantra these past few days as Kennedy has started to understand what happened to her. Her bandages came off on Monday, and it’s the first time she’s seen the right side of her face since the necrotizing fasciitis started. As you can imagine it has lead to some pretty heavy conversations and emotions. I think a person, especially a child, can only put on a brave face for so long. And that’s okay. We’re going to feel all the feels we need. That’s part of the healing process. ♥️ While it’s been a tougher week emotionally, we’re trying to celebrate all the wonderful moments we’ve had. One moment in particular happened today that I cannot WAIT to share with you all. Here’s a hint… 💙 🦁 🤍 #kennedywarriorprincess #necrotizingfasciitissurvivor #sepsis #sepsissurvivor #sepsisawareness #necrotizingfasciitisawareness #necrotizingfasciitis

Exciting news! Our Sepsis in Schools Education Campaign is live, and we need your help! Are you aware that every year, 75,000 children are hospitalized due to sepsis? Shockingly, around 7,000 of them lose their lives, while 38% of survivors endure lifelong disabilities. Awareness can make all the difference, which is why we've initiated a campaign aimed at providing vital sepsis education to classrooms, school administrators, and nurses. Getting involved is simple – visit our site (link in profile) Our newly launched Sepsis in Schools Education page has all the tools you need, including: - A customizable letter to the principal explaining your concerns and sharing the available resources - A Signs of Sepsis in Children poster for display in school nurses’ offices - Access to our comprehensive K-12 curriculum, Signs of Sepsis animated video and Ouch, I Got a Cut, our picture book on infection prevention for young readers. Head to our website now to get started. Thank you for joining us. Let’s help our schools be smart about sepsis! ___ . . . . #sepsis #endsepsis #education #schools #publichealth #sepsisawareness #sepsisalliance #sepsisrecovery #sepsissurvivor #infections #doctors #nurses #cdc #schoolnurse #teachers

Is this a joke? 😀 No, you see it well. the silicon pad is outside the 🧦 sock now, fixed with adhesive tape … This really looks so stupid😂 After a few days testing, I couldn’t bear it, my foot was burning of the touch of the silicone 🔥 And because in theory it’s a good idea, to release pressure, I put it outside the sock , and I went down to the hospital to see Sonia yesterday, as she was not in on Friday. (The vascular wound specialist) She already knew I was not happy with the silicone, but looked at this invention and didn’t laugh… checked the wound, cleaned it and then taped back onto the sock. “If it works like this, it’s okay”. She seemed to have a good day, and had 2 assistants with her. She told me there’s something else she’s waiting for to come, that might help … (oh my god, I thought, it’s a never ending story with the fixtures 😂). I appreciate her dedication really. But I emphasized again I have no fear of anything more drastic. She said: “ We still owe you some solutions “ And me : “No, please, you don’t owe me anything, you have done so much for me “🙏🏻 It’s true, I never blame them or anything like that… (I was just thinking about it these days, I hope they don’t think I’m not content because it doesn’t seem to work out well in the end how they did the surgery 4 years ago. No. We wanted to save this foot as much as possible. Lastly she said there might be already a specialists meeting in a few weeks time, where I would be invited for a joint evaluation 🙏🏻 that would be great. I know nothing will happen before summer, it’s too late and this process is rather slow. But I hope the decision will be taken. Meanwhile I continue to invent strange and stupid orthopedic solutions 😀 (Tbc , today I had a private traumatologist visit 👍 ) . . . . #vascularsurgery #amputeelife #amputeeproblems #amputeestrong #sepsissurvivor #orthopedics #footproblems #slowlifediary #disability #discapacidad

And just like that, Isaacs back in hospital 39.4 temp, leg pain and extremely tired. One day after he’s finished antibiotics. This is the second time in a row now he’s left hospital, finished his oral antibiotics and then gone in the next day.

Ne rien lâcher 💪🏼 Quand chaque jour, chaque nuit, devient un combat pour survivre. Une lutte sans répit contre la maladie. Encaisser, affronter, supporter l’insupportable devient question de survie. . Tenir bon quoiqu’il arrive, pas par choix nan, mais pas obligation pour vivre. Se battre ou mourir, y’a pas d’autres options, alors tu te bats. Parce que tu sais que si tu baisses la garde c’est foutu. La maladie n’a jamais de pause. Si elle te met au sol, tu te relève pas. Alors tu te répètes « on lâches rien » . S’accrocher à l’amour des siens pour pas sombrer. Tenir bon pour eux mais aussi grâce à eux ❤️‍🩹 L’amour comme arme face à la maladie, l’amour comme force, l’amour comme raison de vivre 🙏🏼 On lâche rien 👊🏻 . . . #crohn #maladiedecrohn #rch #rectocolitehémorragique #afacrohnrch #ileostomy# #ostomate #ostomy #surgery #ibd #crohnwarrior #scoliosis #sepsissurvivor #heartsurgery #mici #reeducation #onlacherien

Neonatal sepsis, or newborn sepsis, is a serious condition characterized by a systemic infection in newborns less than 28 days old. Symptoms may include fever or hypothermia, lethargy, poor feeding, respiratory distress, jaundice, and abnormal heart rate or breathing patterns. Additionally, affected infants may exhibit signs of irritability, abdominal distension, or vomiting. Since neonatal sepsis can progress rapidly and lead to severe complications, prompt medical attention is crucial.

According to the @amputeecoalition, there are approximately two million people in the United States who have some sort of amputation, and an estimated 185,000 amputations take place each year. This includes sepsis survivors like Don, who lost seven of his toes after a group A strep infection rapidly progressed to life-threatening sepsis.

Update on our Tiniest Sir, James and I: We are home now. Adjusting to life outside of the hospital, and no sleep. We want to thank every single one of you that raced to our aid, with prayers, thoughts, special messages, cards and donations. It has meant so much to us, and I'm so grateful for everyone single one of you. Even to the ones that didn't reach out to us directly but to our family. Also to the ones that asked about our oldest boys and Deej. This has affected our whole entire family to our core. We have so many amazing people in our lives and we do not take any of you for granted. We are taking this time to adjust and just love up on each other, so we can heal as a family. Today, James is a NICU graduate and is 9 weeks old today. If I was still pregnant we would be 38 weeks gestational. And thank you so much again. James and I are so grateful to be alive today. #blackmaternalhealth #blackmaternalmortality #nativeamericanmaternalhealth #nativeamericanmaternalmortality #sepsisawareness #sepsissurvivor

We will never be able to thank @alfies_wish enough for the smiles and memories they’ve given us as a family by getting us to WWE Money in the Bank. Today we sat down with Alfie’s Wish and spoke about Isaac and his journey. They were so lovely and comforting. To talk so openly with someone who knows what we’re going through made it so much easier and relaxing. The passion Charlotte has for this charity is amazing and hearing her talk about her incredible Alfie was a pleasure. He would be so proud of the joy his mum has given to all the children this charity has helped ❤️ We will forever be in your debt ❤️ #charity #alfieswish #cancer #childcancer #leukemia #leukemiaawareness #cancerawareness #ALL #sepsis #sepsisawareness #sepsissurvivor #lymphaticmalformation #disabled #amputee #amputation #wheelchair #piccline #greatormondstreet #greatormondstreethospital #GOSH

🧡🎗️Some days I’m fine. Other days I’m staring at the shoe organizer filled with Charlotte’s old shoes for Sophie to grow into, and notice Charlotte’s dirty little footprints still imprinted on her flip flops. The last remaining evidence of her tiny little toes. It’s just not fair. She’s here and that’s all that matters, thank God. But it still hurts. And we still mourn what we did lose. #LLLDAM #charlottestrong #quadamputee #childamputee #sepsissurvivor #ecmosurvivor #tinytoes #griefisnotlinear #rainbows

Popeye épisode 1999999 😅 Après quelques jours de fièvre et état général bien faible … Ce que je craignais est arrivé… Déshydratation sévère avec forte suspicion de pyélonéphrite 😆 je suis en attente de résultats 🙏🏼 . En attendant il etait urgent de d’hydrater, je commençais à avoir du sang dans les urines 😪 et je me sentais vraiment pas bien. . Mais forcément avec mon capital veineux quasiment nul et n’ayant plus de voie veineuse centrale… la dernière solution etait l’hydratation en perfusion sous cutanée depuis hier soir et pendant 7 jours 💪🏼 ça va retaper Popeye ! .

For those of you who saw my stories, will know I'm due to have major surgery on the 24th of June... I've waited over 12 months for this, but now I have the date I'm starting to feel really anxious 😟 😰 and if you know my story, you'll know I'm an old timer at this surgery thing ha ha as this will be number 22 surgeries I've had in the 8 years of this awful illness 😖 A lot of people tend to think or say "Oh at least with all them surgeries under your belt, you'll be used to what happens and used to going under, ect, but no, I will never get used to this ever! I don't think anybody would, to be honest... I wanted to come on and thank everyone on here, so thank you for all your support up until this moment. It's very much appreciated 👏🏻 but if you could stick by me a little longer, I'll take you all with me on this major surgery journey... #majorsurgery #surgerylife #surgerychangedme #painteam #operations #strength #warrior #lookingforsupport #iwillneedhelp #nervepain #neuropathicpainawareness #nephrectomysurvivor #onekidneywarrior #urologylife #urologyissues #isurvived #sepsissurvivor #ivebeenthroughhellandback #ivehadalotofsurgery #pleasesupportme #thankyouforreading #wishmeluck #hiddendisabilitylife #disabilitiesawareness #disabledandproud #supportchronicillnesses

This Pediatric Sepsis Week, we’re recognizing the experiences of sepsis survivors like four-year-old Aurelia. Last summer, Aurelia’s mother, Laci, took her daughter to two separate pediatric urgent care centers for symptoms that included coughing, vomiting, and a fever. Doctors at both facilities reassured Laci that it was likely just a virus. She recalls, “By that point she was already showing signs of sepsis (lethargy, rash on her chest, high fever, etc.), but I am not a medical expert and trusted the advice being given to me. That night I just had a bad feeling, so I slept in the bed with my daughter.” In the middle of the night, Laci rushed Aurelia to the ER when she noticed her daughter’s lips had turned blue and she was having trouble breathing. In the emergency room, staff immediately recognized Aurelia’s sepsis symptoms and worked to stabilize her so she could be transported to the nearest children’s hospital. Doctors told Laci that if she had not brought Aurelia in that evening, she likely would not have survived until morning. Laci shares, “All told, we spent 35 days in the PICU. Eventually, we found out that the cause of all of this had been a simple strep infection.” Click the link in bio to read more of Aurelia’s story.

Retour sur une matinée chaotique… Malheureusement, j’ai eu des complications suites à la pose de sonde de Jeudi dernier à Lyon. Des douleurs atroces et des saignements incessants… et pour finir un abcès dans le nez. J’ai dû retirer la sonde 5 jours après la pose malheureusement. . Pour m’éviter un énième aller retour à Lyon, mon médecin référent a contacté le CHU le plus proche de chez moi pour faire poser une sonde là-bas. Sauf que rien ne s’est passé comme prévue… . Plus de 30 min en enfer, j’ai vécu un calvaire… une infirmière complètement perdu qui m’a clairement demandé comment poser la sonde car elle savait pas 😅 Quand je lui ai dis qu’elle prenait une sonde bcp trop épaisse par rapport aux miennes. Elle n’a pas voulu m’écouter… évidemment elle m’a forcé dans la gorge à 3 reprises sans arriver à passer la sonde. . Puis un infirmier est intervenu, et finalement réussi à passer la sonde. Mais qui a pas tenu longtemps car mal posé… Pour finir, j’ai souffert atrocement, je suis complètement blessé dans le nez et la gorge… pour rien puisque je n’ai plus de sonde. Leur incompétence me désespère… . Bref, je me retrouve à nouveau sans nutrition, Je vais devoir retourner rapidement à Lyon reposer une sonde… On essaye de faire une pause pour que ma gorge et mon nez cicatrisent avant d’en remettre une. . En attendant je suis en mode survie, à essayer de me nourrir de compléments hypercaloriques, en espérant que le poids et la force de s’écroulent pas 🙏🏼 On lache rien 💪🏼 . . . #crohn #maladiedecrohn #rch #rectocolitehémorragique #afacrohnrch #ileostomy# #ostomate #ostomy #surgery #ibd #crohnwarrior #scoliosis #sepsissurvivor #heartsurgery #mici #reeducation #onlacherien

Here's a #dailyreminder for my #glowgetters! ✨ #gratitude #amputee #amputeelife #SepsisAwareness #sepsissurvivor

(I lost the whole text on my previous post the other day.. so here’s explanation) Last Friday I decided to go to the hospital as I didn’t get any news from the vascular. I hate complaining, pushing people, but the truth is if you don’t do it nothing happens… I entered the hospital and was wondering what the hell I should do, who to talk to… I tried to move my appointment from June to earlier but they said it was not possible… sure. I was standing there like a dumb, when a door opened and Sonia the vascular assistant appeared and was SMILING at me! (I thought she would get pissed why I’m there). “Zsu!! Do you read my mind??? I was just going to call you because at noon I receive something which might help, so I was to tell you to come on Monday! It’s great you came in!! “😅🙏🏻 I also did a doppler test to check circulation in foot, which was OK. Then Sonia tried on this special silicon pad, which helps to absorb pressure, used as a cushion in the shoe. We could hardly tuck in the foot into the shoe because we put two layers. It felt a bit better but I knew it was not going to be a final solution. But she said meanwhile the process (the doctors discussing my case) is ongoing it’s a bit of pain relief. I had to go back on Monday, and honestly on the weekend I didn’t walk that much so it was not hurting so bad. However this week I did more activity, exercise etc, and I started to have more and more calluses everyday. Yesterday I was outside the whole day, and it got really bad, it was burning. My skin is so sensitive, and all the tissues inside the foot that it can’t bear this thing overtime. My general pain (and phantom pain) worsened so I won’t use it anymore.🥲 tomorrow I have to go back, I will explain it’s not working unfortunately. I must make them aware, I need a final solution no more experiments. It’s hard for me to advocate for myself, it’s so tiring… So please wish me luck they understand my suffering and I don’t have to keep complaining. Otherwise I’m so fine and happy! I just want to solve this once and for all 🙏🏻🤍✨🌸🌺

Identifying signs of urosepsis is crucial, as it can be life-threatening. Symptoms may include low blood pressure, rapid breathing, and breathing difficulties. On the other hand, paying attention to urinary tract infection (UTI) symptoms is essential for early treatment. UTI signs encompass painful urination, frequent urination, and the presence of blood in the urine. Timely recognition and medical intervention are vital for both conditions to prevent complications.

Did you know that ANY infection can trigger life-threatening sepsis in babies and children, just as it can in adults? Whether the result of a common virus like the flu, or a bacterial infection like group B strep, sepsis is the leading cause of death in young children and babies worldwide. The list above highlights some common causes of sepsis in babies, but it’s important to monitor your child for sepsis symptoms if you think that any type of infection may be present. Remember, if you suspect your child has sepsis, seek emergency care immediately and say, “I suspect sepsis.” Take the time to learn the signs this Pediatric Sepsis Week. Visit PediatricSepsisWeek.org to learn more.

Continuing Pediatric Sepsis Week, a week to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of sepsis in children. A week to acknowledge the 75,000 children who develop sepsis each year in the U.S., along with the 7,000 who tragically lose their lives to sepsis annually. With early recognition and treatment, most of these deaths could have been prevented. Here are some key sepsis facts.

Captain Awesome isn’t being so awesome-here we go again with these #sepsis shenanigans. Another scary hospital stay. SEVEN episodes of sepsis in the last year! Starting to worry I won’t wake up next time. To top it off, my surgery to place my #SuprapubicCatheter , who I’ve named Captain Awesome, is on hold because I just found out I have fu@%ing #HeartFailure ! 😱 As if all this other 💩 isn’t enough to deal with already. I’m really not liking the steady stream of bad news I keep getting. Not even enough time to process it before the next set comes along…Bruh… #EDS #POTS #zebrastrong #SepsisSurvivor #ChronicIllnessWarriors #CHF #FrequentFlier #FoleyCatheter #HospitalAdmitsSuck #SevereAsthma #gastroparesis #RecurrentUTI

Today is St George (the dragon and St. George) , here in Catalunya is an important festivity. The tradition is to give a single rose to the girls, and a book to the boys. 🌹   Today is also World Book Day. 📚📚 You know I love reading, so I thought I would tell you about one of my favorite books: Xiaolan Zhao - Traditional Chinese Medicine for Women (Reflections of the Moon on Water).   One day in the library in the alternative medicine section I found this book and I fell in love with it. I think all women should read it, ( and also men, to understand women! :), and teach it to our daughters, it’s so enlightening and beautiful. Xiaolan Zhao is from China and was a general surgeon,  she had also studied traditional Chinese medicine. In the 90´s she moved to Canada where she started to treat women based on TCM once she experienced how Western culture makes women sick, struggling with fatigue, depression, menstrual difficulties, infertility, chronic pain and cancer. Quotes from the Foreword written by Carolyn DeMarco, MD: “It is a compelling look at the stages of a woman’s life and includes a wealth of practical suggestions for living them in harmony with nature’s rhythms to maintain health and prevent disease. In Western medicine we have medicalized the natural and healthy stages of a woman’s life. We over-prescribe birth control pills, hormonal medications, tranquilizers, antidepressants, and many other medications, much to the detriment of women’s health. In contrast, in Chinese medicine, the stages of a woman’s life are honoured and celebrated. Menstruation is referred to as Heavenly Water, pregnancy is called Ripening the Fruit, postpartum is known as Golden Month, and menopause is called Second Spring.” “The ancient traditions of Chinese medicine are needed more than ever in our society where women are increasingly pressured to be superwomen and are fatigued, stressed and sleep-deprived beyond endurance, and breast cancer and heart disease, autoimmune diseases in which the body attacks its own tissues, are all on the increase.” “This book will enable you to care for and thoroughly enjoy the body that you´re in.” 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼more

Another successful Sepsis 911 presentation this morning at Homewood in Williamsport, MD. Attendees were raptly engaged and focused on the topic at hand - sepsis, our stories, and the medical facts, statistics, and what we can do to reduce the number of deaths each year (1.7 million in the U.S. are affected by sepsis each year, resulting in 350,000 deaths). There are many of us, survivors, heartbroken families who lost a loved one, like losing our amazing 5 year-old Lochlin to flu and sepsis, and caretakers of those who've survived sepsis and suffered catastrophic injuries and amputations. We are much bigger than the numbers, we are all human beings with names, faces, and families, forever connected by this dreadful, lethal syndrome. https://www.instagram.com/loveforlochlin/ As usual, our presentation was interactive and lively. We received lots of questions from attendees and talked with them afterwards. We're being asked to extend beyond our home state and head into neighboring Virginia, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia, to spread the word. When sepsis quits, then we'll quit. But we all know that sepsis isn't giving up, so we're not giving up either. I'm so lucky to have met Brooke and work with her on these presentations. The @loveforlochlin foundation, which Brooke founded, provides vital help to our communities. Brooke is a total sweetheart, a kind, caring and patient nurse, and she's incredibly strong and relentless about protecting people from sepsis. I'm honored to know her and to work with her.❤️ Next Thursday, April 18, we'll be at the Lunch and Learn at 11:30 am at the @natellifamily_ymca and the week after that we were invited to speak online on Steve Gurney's Positive Aging Community platform on Wednesday April 24, at 11:30 am EST. Also, on Thursday, April 18 at 2 pm EST, I was invited to speak online to offer tips for sepsis advocacy through storytelling on the @sepsisalliance platform. Go to www.sepsis.org to register for this interesting and informative talk, if you are looking for ways to share your sepsis story and advocate for awareness. I hope to see you there! #sepsis #sepsissurvivor
