On February 3rd my mother died from septic shock due to a long battle with a urinary infection that was not treated on time. (Sepsis and Septic Shock, Sepsis and Urinary Tract Infections)

On October 2021 my mom had a urinary infection and her primary care did not give her antibiotics until one month after. This caused that her infection spread throughout her bloodstream and she started developing signs of sepsis such as trouble breathing, fatigue, extreme confusion, and extremely low blood pressure. She went on and off out of the hospital. By the time she was treated and she developed pneumonia, finally dying almost 5 months after her initial symptoms. She was a strong woman because even when she was feeling out of breath and unwell she will laugh at any joke I would tell her. Even in her final days she was calm and remained positive until her last days. Rest in peace dear mom. I hope my story inspires people to have their doctor’s checked on time and treated.
