#GMA #septicshock #amputee
The US has the highest maternal mortality of "developed" countries and its only getting worse. These things are preventable. Septic shock is caused by an infection! An infection likely caused by her c-section that was missed or ignored.
This was supposed to be a feel good story but I am pissed for this woman. A fight she and her family should NOT have gone through. Sending them so much love and healing.
definitely neglect on the healthcare workers part, you don’t become septic for no reason, definitely a nosocomial infection
Who cares
American healthcare is bad. Our hospitals are full of filth and disease. My friend with leukemia recovering from a bone marrow transplant got a staph infection and was hospitalized for a month longer. The beds are soaked with fluids from hundreds of people in some hospitals even… doctors and staff have little empathy or care & are too stressed out. Overworked. Capitalism wont last much longer, this has always been the reality
Ooh dear. That was my first tought. Dirty linnen or room. Now i know what caused it. So sorry for her. Yes WE CARE..!!
It is very true !! This story is heart breaking.
There's no limit to how strong a mother can be when the kids need her.
Amen!
Our youngest grandson went into septic shock, due to an infection. By time his parents got him to hospital, his little legs were turning white. Thankfully the doctors knew he was arriving via ambulance, and has been informed about his condition. He was put straight away into an induced coma, and giving strong antibiotics via IV, he survived, with no problems. This was just before his first birthday, we can never thank the medics in the ambulance and the doctor in A AND E. he is 6yrs next Tuesday and a football fanatic.
Awesome to hear this! Be a great footballer little one! God bless you all🥰
Britain had a sepsis awareness campaign. Maybe that's why everyone knew what to do.
@@johanna2690 he had it, when he was 11mths old, he is turning 6 next week, so it was before the awareness campaign, the doctors knew what to do, as they were informed of his symptoms via Ambulance paramedics. If he had arrived 2 mins later, he would of lost his legs, or arms or could of died.
That is so scary! Thank goodness he not only survived but thrived ❤️ I can only imagine how terrifying this was for your family. If it's not too intrusive do you know what caused it?
God bless her. Such a strong woman
My prayers to you and ur family🙏🙏
They need to sue. This is malpractice. Hospitals have to start being held accountable of the death rate will keep rising.
I got sepsis 3 days after giving birth naturally. Was in the ICU for a couple days. They never did figure out where the infection was in my body but luckily I survived and fully recovered.
You are lucky. My mother did not survive.
Exactly why I hate when doctors try to make it seem like c-sections are a safer option. IT’S MAJOR ABDOMINAL SURGERY!!! My heart goes out to this momma and her family 💔🙏🏿.
Sometimes C-section is the only option to get the baby out safe. The surgical equipment probably wasn’t sterilized properly & setup health conditions in her body. They should have an investigation done.
This is what happens when the medical workers are not careful and do everything so fast without thinking too much , infection takes over!!!
And what do you suggest doctors do when the mother is literally unable to push the baby out herself?? I know the story is upsetting, but your comment is extremely ignorant.
@@BijinMCMXC just let them have their babies at home the natural way with assistance of a midwife, surgical way should always be the last resort...
@Ray Cigar If I didn't have a C-section with my daughter, she would've died. She had a collapsed lung when she was born. I was in labor for 20 hours and I only dilated to 5. Don't comment if you're not a female because you have no clue! Sometimes it's necessary to have one.
Those kids are blessed to have such an amazing mom! What a fighter and she does it all for love!
Why is this happening so frequently, this is the 3rd video I've seen recently about this.
Exactly
An infection caused by her C-section. That makes it scary to go to the hospital where she went. :(
What a beautiful man to stick to his vows and stick by his wife. Thousands of rounds of applauds. So glad she is able to be with her children as well
Men are so trash they get applauded for doing what they supposed to be doing
Not really. That's the normal thing to do. His wife birthed his kids and lost her limbs because of it, and you'd expect him to just pack up and go? That says a lot about the sort of person you are.
What an unnecessary salty response to a harmless comment. There are spouses that will up and leave, denying that doesn’t detract from the posters integrity or lead to a scenario that “Should” be. You owe the poster a gracious apology
@@revitalzarur7956No one deserves a round of applause for being decent human beings. The bar is so damn low.
He gonna leave. Just gotta find legitimate excuse so he can have a reason to leave. Maybe he will accuse her of cheating ....😂
I met someone where she went septic and was forced to give birth. Lost her eye sight and 3 limbs. She didnt even get to see her baby. What she taught me though is what she learned. It wasnt about strength. It was about accepting that you just cant parent for the next year. You have to recover and learn to adapt to your new life. Let everyone else care for your family right now. It got to the point where she actually said what being blind and mostly helpless taught her. She said that she wanted to hear trials of others. She said that when you go blind and can only rely on listening. Your brain focuses so greatly on what you hear. She felt that someone who failed a test could feel as much pain and sorrow as she felt nearly losing her life. She wanted those who helped her, to tell her about their own troubles. She said how everyone has different trials but her trial is no greater then failing an exam. It made her so humble. More humble to where she teaches others, not just her kids. She wants to teach others that sometimes its just not about you. Even in the midst of trials. You have to learn how to help others when you also need help.
It doesn’t say what caused the septic shock. These are things, all women, particularly those who want to be mothers, need to be aware of.
OMG Thank God for those doctors that were able to save her! Pregnancy is really an experience that's on the verge of death!
I take it yours didn't go too well
Dios la salvo sin él nada
I’m glad she is alive. I hope she’ll always have a good support system. ❤
She’s a strong woman! God bless her and her family🥰🥰
She’s a very strong women. What a beautiful soul, she will inspire so many people. My niece was born with a birth defect on her right foot. The right foot never developed. She had multiple surgeries, by age 7 she had below the knee amputation. We are glad that was her last. My niece doesn’t miss the right foot, because she was born without it. I meet a teenage girl at my niece’s therapist office. She lost some of her right leg due to cancer; in order to save her life and for the cancer not to spreed they removed part of her leg to save her from cancer. The girl missed her leg so much, was so embarrassed at middle school, and she didn’t want to go out; she fell into depression. Unlike my niece. Why do I bring this up is because we need people like Krystina to be that inspiration to may other people from all ages; many will be able to relate to her and feel inspired by her strength. Much love to her and her family.
God bless her indeed 🙏 I thought I had tough kids with having health issues of my own but nothing like this at all. She's a warrior sending her lots of prayers
My respect to her . Absolutely a hard moment in her life . And she manages it like a strong bullet .
An amazing women, role model and will be an amazing mother. So happy she pulled through 💓
Shes a strong person 🙏
Yes
God has blessed this woman and her family with strength! Such an inspiration, and a beautiful Mom ❤
I love this woman. She is so strong and positive. She is determined and strong. I can go on and on. God bless this woman and her beautiful family!
Pregnancy and birth are no joke. No thanks!!!
Girl exactly, this makes me fucking terrified
Yeah I totally agree. It’s very risky for women
I will never get pregnant, if i do i will abort it. A baby only ruin a woman's body and life.
@@moonamoonz My mom got gestational diabetes while pregnant with me. Yikes. Who wants this willingly?
Omg my heart strings really were yanked on this one! What an amazing mom and dad. They are such a beautiful family!
Lord continue to give her the strength she needs ! ❤
So proud of this mama for pulling through! Happy she’s home.
Was in labor for 3 days in Nov 2019. Had an emergency c-section due to contracting an infection, doctor had to staple me instead of stitches. Staples were removed almost 2 weeks later via staple remover, no numbing of the area so yeah it hurt. Once removed, my c section opened in 2 places, it was burned with nitrate to try to close the wounds. Ended up in the hospital a week later due to infection where the wounds reopened.
My beautiful daughter is 3 now, I have a scar to remind me of it but it was all worth it for her!!! ❤
This is the 2nd case of amputation after delivery I’m hearing in this week alone!!! So scared for my pregnant family members and friends also me in future 😢
Be brave
Dont get pregnant, it will ruin ur body and ur life.
@@moonamoonz every woman is different
My heart and prayers go out to her. And there is just another reason I'm child free
I can't imagine that. I had an infection after my last baby and emergency c section and scary how this happens. This woman is incredibly strong and brave
Pregnancy is terrifying. She is so strong. Mad respect
So a mother of 2 contracted an infection post C-section and was not treated for it in time thus developing septicaemia which resulted in eventual in loss of both hands and feet. I'm terribly disgusted and disappointed in the healthcare professionals who were supposed to protect her. This was totaly preventable. Wishing her strength of mind and heart
😢😢😢 sending you lots of hugs and prayer 🙏🏼
I wish the best for this family.
Oh my god poor thing glad she made it
I hope they get a good lawyer. It sounds like hospital used very dirty instruments to cause this.
Thank you for sharing your story. I wish you all blessings and lots of wonderful moments as a Family. I am sorry this happened to you. May God bless your family. Your strong and you have a beautiful family 🥰
It is crazy that these days we still see things like that. Amputations even with all the specialists we have and money sent to research.
God bless the lady and her beautiful family. That's such a tough thing to go through and she's still only thinking of her babies. ❤️🙏🏼
I hope she and her family are ok. I commend her for being a strong & lucky mother!
O my goodness! You are a very strong woman! This is so sad. But, you are still here! Prayers for everything to come together for you. I could not even begin to know how to deal with something like this, except for giving it to God and trusting in him. Bless you and your family 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
What a brave young woman!! So proud of you!
What an amazing , strong and beautiful woman ! May you and your family be richly blessed
This mother, this is the type of mother that heaven lies under her feet.
She's beautiful inside and out, wish her all the happiness with her family ❤
The love of a mother😢. Worry for her kids
Prayers and love for her and her family
I had the same issue after my first c-section. I got infected during my surgery and after 3weeks I had to return to the hospital and had septic shock, they put me in coma. I spent 10 days, fortunately I didn’t have imputations of my body. But I had a lot pain in my body. I’m sending my prayers to this mom for healing ❤️🩹
I hope you sued those incompetent doctors and nurses. No excuse for the poor advice you received
The power of a loving mama!
I got an infection from my c section I didn’t know those things can happen. I had a very dangerous high fever was in the hospital for 2 weeks. C sections are scary.
This is so crazy make me so emotional and cry 😭.You are such a beautiful soul .God Bless You are Beautiful Mother .I’m sending prayers for you and your whole family including beautiful adorable, baby.God Bless all ❤️🌺🙏
So sorry hun, my eldest daughter almost died from the same thing after a c section, u are a warrior, God bless u, everything will be OK 🌹
Brave and so strong. Love to you all
Stay stronger than ever momma! God bless your kind soul and thank u for never losing hope for the betterment of your little fam ❤
I had C-section here in America last January 2021 I was healthy before the operation and happy and excited right after the surgery I noticed a rashes all around my tummy area and back where they put the iodine in my body .. it itches me for a round 2 weeks like my skin was burnt i though I’m going to have the scars glad it didn’t. I was allergic to the iodine antiseptic they used .. was wondering why on my first C-section which happened in the Philippines I didn’t have the same reaction. It was really bad after taking steroids it finally cleared up! But I lose the chance of breast feeding my baby cuz it dries up my milk almost in an instant!
According to the dermatologist I happened to developed a contact dermatitis..
So selfless 🥺❤️ bless your soul and im sorry this happend to you
I pray that when her daughter grows up she won’t hold herself responsible for her mothers condition. May their relationship be full of love care affection and patience 🙏🏼🌿
I nearly lost my son last year due to Sepsis and he nearly lost his leg. He had a post op appt with his surgeon a few days before the scary event getting air lifted occurred. Signs of infection was visible and the cat scan showed it but the surgeon ignored it when she was notified of his sepsis and critical condition she sure did apologize.
Sending love to this family, and may they all be blessed with financial wellness, good health and a high-quality of life.
What an amazing woman ♥️♥️♥️
Life!! One never knows what life can throw at you at any given moment
God has given you a beautiful family and has taken very good care of you. I feel bad you had to go through so much but thankful you are still alive to enjoy them
Such strong woman. Gld bless her. Great mom and su0er positive. May God continue giving you strenght and good health .
I'm so sad this has happened to this lovely lady and her family, l am sending my prayers to give them strength. ❤
Omg so sad but she's very strong. God bless
What a brave lady I'm so pleased and thrilled to know you made it home to your baby's god bless you your amazing🌈🌈🌈❤️
She’s amazing, strong, and beautiful. That said, this was preventable. Our hospitals can be so disgusting for such a highly developed country. This was a nosocomial infection, which never needed to happen on the first place.
This humble me!
Prayers and healing AMEN
I I hate sepsis. It’s a horrific infection.
I am so glad she was saved and returned home to her kids and husband.
This happens often. I blame the hospital. Something wasn't sanitized when she delivered. An infection was spread. She should sue the hospital. A normal delivery does not cause septic shock unless the instruments had bacteria on them.
I'm so proud of u mumma
what a wonderful lady, god bless you my dear, so brave so determined you are amazing 💪
wishing you and your beautiful family all the luck in the world 🍀
FFS how can this still be happening to women. It's the modern world, stuff like this us completely preventable. Too many women die from giving birth, this isn't ok
Wow. You are so strong.
Yrs back this happened to another woman after delivering. I wonder if it's the same hospital. Wishing her lots of strenght and happiness no matter what
All she was worried about was her children ❤️ may God make easy for you and your family.
Sooo shocking.. God bless you and your family, and give y'all strength ❤❤🙏
Pray that God gives you strength and courage has you face your journey
Stay strong and whenever you are down God is always there for you. Every thing good n bad that happens in life can be an opportunity for enlightenment. We sometimes find ourselves during the worst of times. Sometimes we find that we are much more resilient n powerful than we. Ever thought capable of. You will definitely have a testimony to share with others. You can n will be an inspiration to others. You being alive is a MIRACLE. Your babies will be glad that you fought to stay alive so you could remain their mother and to love them.
What an incredible woman!
What are da causes of septic shock
OMG! 😱😱😱Thank God me & my son survived childbirth!! 🙌🏾👏🏾🙏🏾
It has to be hard for her. I wonder what she really feels like in her heart.
This could've been preventable. If the staff was more hygienic. Cuz you could get maternal septic within the 6 week after delivery. Due to C-section. Anybody could get this. Regardless gender or age. It is a staph infection. She is strong woman. God bless her. Cuz I know I couldn't.
What a strong woman!
May the Lord Jesus bless this woman , wow. She is absolutely remarkable. This brought tears to my eyes.
Perfect Mother 🌹
God bless her and her family❤
INVESTIGATE !! Every move by the doctors, nurses, etc., must be investigated to see who/what was responsible. Sue them. Fire everybody guilty of such negligence. Even jail.
God bless her!!! Does she have a go fund me?
Make sure at least one person on your care team is 100% focused on you and your symptoms, not oohing over the baby. Lots of moms say they feel like an afterthought when the child is born and a lot of obvious postpartum risks are ignored because of this.
God bless her ❤
Dang. I'm absolutely flabbergasted by this story. I'm pregnant with twins and this sorta scares me lol. I can just add that to my list of things I'm scared about for this pregnancy. God bless you sweet mama, your a rock for your family!
I could never go through pregnancy again, I cant risk dying and leaving my toddler without her mama. Nope, I'm done with chiildbirth.
What is septic shock??
So happy you are bk home with your family hun..😊❣🙏
Another woman went through the same amputations supposedly after eating fish. A teenager went through the same amputations after getting sick. These cases are popping up everywhere 😮
Hoping for the best for her and her family. Jude 1: 2
What an amazing person
Why does shock always have to go for the limbs? 🙄
Because the body works hard to preserve the most vital organs during shock. The limbs are least vital/most expendable therefore blood (full of pathogen fighting cells) was routed to her brain, kidneys, heart etc. in a desperate attempt to fight the infection and keep her alive.
