Primary school teacher Julianna Bransden contracted sepsis earlier this year, with nurses saying they've never seen a patient crash so dramatically

A mum-of-two has lost both her legs after dramatically deteriorating overnight from flu-like symptoms.

As a result, Tim called 111 to get some expert advice on his wife's situation, with the call-handlers advising Julianna to get some rest, as she was only on day two of having a fever and was young, fit and healthy. However, Tim instinctively called an ambulance for Julianna that through a stroke of luck, arrived at their home in South Wales within five minutes - a call that ultimately saved her life.

Doctors found that Julianna had aggressive pneumonia, influenza and invasive Strep A on the day she was admitted on New Year's Day. At 9pm that evening, the family were told she may not make it through the night. She will also lost most of her fingers, as they've been severely affected by the sepsis. Jac said: "We were just desperately praying that she would just survive. I think with sepsis, people just think you either die or you survive.

"She's been scarily stoic and super resilient," Jac said. She's not just smiling for the pictures, she genuinely is. The only time she changed was when we were going through the Go Fund Me and she only got upset because I was upset.
