The day was 2/24/2016, I came down with severe sepsis. I spent 10 days in the ICU. Leading up to that day I was running very high fevers. On my sepsis day, I was at the doctor that morning and my doctor disregarded what I told him. I went home and I got very sick like only a person who had sepsis would know.

I was nearly dead when the paramedics arrived. During transport my heart was struggling and I couldn’t breathe, the pain in my gut was unbearable. I don’t wish this on anyone. I am a sepsis survivor.
