Just weeks after Patrick’s hip replacement surgery, he went into septic shock caused by a surgical infection.

What followed were multiple surgeries, months of IV antibiotics, and a long recovery that continues to affect him both physically and emotionally.

Patrick is grateful for his wife's unwavering support and hopes that sharing his story helps others recognize the lasting impact sepsis can have long after leaving the hospital.

In 2025, Patricia woke up confused and struggling to breathe. She was rushed to the hospital where she learned she had sepsis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Just months later, after recovering from the flu, it happened again. This time, Patricia arrived at the emergency room with very low blood pressure and was admitted to the ICU.

Patricia is grateful to be here today, but recovery has been long, and her experience showed her just how quickly sepsis can become life-threatening.
