Please read about Sepsis it may help save lives.
I know this gorgeous woman’s mother Bernie Day.
❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹
Rachel Day was a fit and healthy young woman who would light up a room with her beauty, humour and infectious personality.
But in the bloom of her life, the 29-year-old was struck down with sepsis which quickly ravaged her body. Just 10 days after her diagnosis, she was dead.
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition caused by the immune system overreacting to an infection or injury. Knowing the symptoms can save lives.
A child may have sepsis if they are:
· Breathing very fast
· Have a ‘fit’ or convulsion
· Look mottled, bluish, or very pale
· Have a rash that does not fade when you press it
· Are very lethargic or difficult to wake
· Feel abnormally cold to touch
In adults, look out for:
· Slurred speech or confusion
· Extreme shivering or muscle pain
· Passing no urine (in a day)
· Severe breathlessness
· It feels like you’re going to die
· Skin mottled or discoloured
Suspect sepsis? Act fast. Seek medical help immediately. Call 999 or head to the Emergency Unit.
If you’re worried about an infection but don’t suspect sepsis, call 111.
