What Amy thought was simple indigestion quickly became severe sepsis caused by Group A Streptococcus.

She spent 10 weeks in the ICU, endured organ failure, dialysis, and even survived a second case of sepsis before beginning the long road to recovery.

Today, Amy continues to heal physically and emotionally. She shares her story to remind others that sepsis can strike without warning—and that hope is possible.

At 19, what started as a kidney stone quickly turned into pyelonephritis, septic shock, and a stay in the ICU for Steph.

She survived because her mom, an ICU nurse, recognized the signs of sepsis and acted quickly alongside an incredible medical team.

Today, Steph is grateful to be thriving and sharing her story to help others recognize that sepsis can happen to anyone.
