A pregnant woman has lost her unborn child and both of her arms and legs after contracting a deadly sepsis infection due to complications from her pregnancy.
Kayleigh Ferguson-Walker, 31, was six months pregnant with her second child in March when what seemed like a bad case of the flu quickly landed her in the ICU with kidney failure, labored breathing, and dropping blood pressure.
Kayleigh had developed the life-threatening sepsis infection that doctors discovered had already claimed the life of her unborn baby forcing a stillbirth upon arriving at the hospital.
While in a two-week medically-induced coma, Sun Sentinel reports that gangrene set in and began killing Kayleigh’s arms and legs making it clear the only way to save her life was to perform a rare quadruple amputation.
