Eunique Gipson

Tribute

After a high-risk pregnancy and complicated birth on November 24,2023, Eunique called 911 due to having chest pains. She had given birth via C section on November 16,2023. When she arrived in the emergency department she was on the brink of death. (Sepsis and Pregnancy & Childbirth)

The doctors immediately started Eunique on antibiotics and oxygen. They told her that she was in septic shock and needed to be sedated on a ventilator. She was scared and fought against the doctor’s medical advice for two days. Her condition is was worsening she finally decided to be sedated. Eunique fought for 12 days after being sedated. The day before she passed both of her lungs collapsed and she coded. Her kidneys completely stopped working and her heart rate was beating so fast I could see her pulse in her neck. She was diagnosed with septic shock, ARDS, MRSA, and pneumonia. (Sepsis and MRSA, Sepsis and Pneumonia) Eunique left behind 4 beautiful children and was only 25 years old. I dedicated using the rest of my life to tell her story.
