The first symptoms on March 25 pointed to flu. Two days later, Monika Neuherz was diagnosed with pneumonia, her condition worsened and she had to be resuscitated twice. Multiple organ failure was caused by severe septic shock.
Aggressive germ caught
The doctors determined that the 47-year-old had caught a very aggressive bacteria that had entered the bloodstream and started decomposing her lungs within hours. Weeks of mortal danger followed and the mother of two daughters (6 and 8) had to be ventilated for four weeks in artificial deep sleep.
The joy of seeing you again
The extremities suffered from severe sepsis. Both lower legs and all fingers had to be amputated successively to keep her alive. The danger to life was only averted at the end of May, the woman is still being treated in intensive care, but she should soon come home to the house in Welten, Jennersdorf district. “We are all very much looking forward to it,” says husband Walter, who now has to make major investments. “We have to make everything accessible to the disabled. At the moment, the house can only be reached via stairs.”
