Although it looks like Laura caught her infection in time, Sepsis can be very life-threatening for some.
According to the NHS, 'Sepsis is a serious complication of an infection. Without quick treatment, sepsis can lead to multiple organ failure and death.'
Due to severity of Sepsis, NHS watchdog Nice have published new guidelines in the last two years, which tell doctors to treat the infection with the same urgency as they would for a heart attack.
We wish Laura a speedy recovery! ❤️
