I am a survivor of sepsis and much more. This was only through Godʻs intervention after Wilcox Hospital had pronounced me dead. I was flatlined for 16 minutes. I had possible asbestos poisoning, though all of the specialists and 24 hour care I received at Straub after I resurrected, still could not figure out definitely the cause of my total internal organ failure, and my death was caused by them puncturing my lung which collapsed around an allready stressed heart beating at a rate of 160 beats or so a minute. my bp was 90/60 and dropping. But I was on 24/7 dialysis, 5 major antibiotics and had 18 “Christmas” trees with 5 or 6 bags of medicine of some sort hanging from them.
My life I have been told is a miracle. I would have been ok with dying, for I truly hate my life here on earth with my spouse abuse that I live with since 7th grade till now at 50. But God saved me and Iʻm trusting in His plan. Iʻd like to know about sepsis because I dont know anything about it. mahalo, Uʻi.
