Tracy Wilson

Tribute

My mother was diagnosed with staph infection in her heart due to a lead on her defibrillator. (Sepsis and Invasive Device) In Nov. 2024 she had the device removed the beginning of Dec 2024. From there she developed gram pos cocci in clusters, later down the line candidemia and a few others.

My mother passed away Jan 2025. I wrote my first book about the last 3 months of her life living with staphylococcus. It can be found on Amazon.com – The S Effect. I hope to bring awareness or light to the deadly infection because enough has not been studied or done. The medications to treat it in my view hurt more than they do good. Anyone dealing with or who have lost a loved one due to staphylococcus My thoughts go out to you and your family as I personally seen first hand what this infection can do to a person’s body inside out. RIP MOM!!! TRACY
