Mother Given 8 Hours to Live Fights Back
16 Sep
Summary
- A 52-year-old woman was given only eight hours to live due to sepsis.
- Her son is organizing a charity event to raise awareness for the UK Sepsis Trust.
- The charity event will include a BBQ, football match, and family fun day.
Tracey Easton, a 52-year-old mother of five from Sheerness, Kent, faced a critical health crisis when sepsis caused her condition to deteriorate rapidly. Initially struggling with mobility due to blood clots, Crohn's disease, and osteoarthritis, her health took a sudden turn over the weekend of May 2-3.
Admitted to Medway Maritime Hospital on the morning of May 4, doctors informed her family she had only eight hours to live. The sepsis had caused severe internal damage, leaving her with a mere 1% chance of survival during surgery, which the medical team deemed unfeasible.
Despite the grim prognosis, Tracey defied the odds. Her son, Dawson McFarland, now aims to honor her life and legacy. He is organizing a charity event on October 10, featuring a BBQ, football match, and family fun day, with proceeds benefiting the UK Sepsis Trust.
The UK Sepsis Trust works to raise awareness about the condition, which tragically causes 48,000 deaths annually in the UK. Tracey's passion for football, inspired by her support for Liverpool, has fueled Dawson's commitment to this cause.
