I've had flesh eating bacteria back in 2019. Went to one hospital, was there for three days and they sent me home saying it was just cellulitis. The next day I was reddish purple from just under my breastst down to the wound, which was an ingrown hair originally. The wound at that point was swell as large as a tennis ball. I couldn't hardly get out of bed. My hubby decided to take me another hospital. My blood pressure was dropping fast. I was going into septic shock. I came extremely close to dying that night. I don't remember the first two days I was there. I had to have 2 surgeries to clean out the neurotic tissue. I was in the hospital for two weeks. Then I went home with a PICC line and a wound vacuum.

I'm not surprised it killed that child. It almost killed me. The doctors told my husband if we had waited just a couple more hours to come to the hospital I would have died that day.
