A dedicated primary school teacher went to bed with flu-like symptoms and ended up losing both of her legs to sepsis.

Ms Bransden first began experiencing flu-like symptoms on New Year’s Eve, a few days after celebrating a big Christmas with her family.

Ms Burgess said she received an urgent call to come and look after her grandchildren, 14-year-old Emilia and 11-year-old William, while Tim was rushed to the hospital with Julianna.

Once admitted, Julianna spent 18 days in a coma, with doctors working around the clock to treat her for septic shock, two cardiac arrests, and multiple organ failure.

Julianna eventually came round, but the sepsis had caused severe damage to her hands and feet, and both of her legs had to be amputated.

“Her hands were badly affected, but her feet were causing the problem and it was going to compromise all her organs if we weren’t careful, so we made the wise decision to amputate, and once that source of infection was gone, she began to pick up.”
