As mama ɔ papa, yu nɔ go ebul fɔ tɛl ɛnibɔdi di fred we yu gɛt fɔ yu pikin. Wi ɔl no di fred we kin kam na wi maynd we wi pikin gɛt kol ɔ fiva, nɔto so? Bɔt yu no se sɔntɛnde, baktriyal infɛkshɔn we kin bigin as tin we rili kɔmɔn kin tɔn to sɔntin we rili siriɔs ɛn we kin mek wi layf de pan denja insay wi bɔdi? Dat denja sik na wetin wi kin kɔl sɛpsis na mɛrɛsin. Wi rili nid fɔ no bɔt dis.

Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, wetin na sɛpsis?

Imajin, we wan jem, mɔ wan baktri, kam insay wi bɔdi, wi imyun sistɛm kin bigin fɔ fɛt am. Dis na nɔmal tin. Bɔt insay wan kɔndishɔn we dɛn kɔl sɛpsis, dis imyun sistɛm rεspכns de go aut ɔf kɔntrol ɛn go insay ɔva drayv. Dat min se dis imyun sistεm de stat fכ atak nכto di jεm nכmכ, bכt di hεlty tisu dεm εn כgan dεm na di bכdi.

I tan lɛk ami we de fɛt fɔ wan kɔntri, we nɔ jɔs de atak di ɛnimi dɛn, bɔt dɛn de atak di pipul dɛn we nɔ du natin na di kɔntri. Dis kin mek di ɔgan dɛn na wi bɔdi kin bigin fɔ wok wan bay wan. Wetin kin apin if di wok we di men pat dɛn lɛk di kidni, di liva, di lɔng, ɛn di at dɔn stɔp? I de mek pɔsin in layf de pan denja. Na lɛk wan pat pan tri pipul dɛm wae gɛt sepsis ɔlsay na di wɔl kin day. Sɔm pipul dɛn we kin sev kin gɛt prɔblɛm dɛn we kin apin to dɛn ɔl dɛn layf, lɛk we dɛn kin gɛt pen we nɔ de dɔn, we dɛn ɔgan dɛn nɔ kin wok fayn, ɛn sɔntɛnde dɛn kin ivin nid fɔ kɔt dɛn an ɛn fut.

Na tru se pikin dɛn kin gɛt mɔ prɔblɛm?

Yɛs. Sepsis kin kam pan ol pipul dɛm, bɔt i kin afɛkt pikin dɛm bak pan wan we we rili denja. di men prכblεm na dat di sayn dεm fכ sepsis na pikin dεm kin rili at fכ no insay di fכs stej.

Ivin dɔktɔ dɛn se i nɔ kin izi fɔ no dɛn sik ya bikɔs dɛn kin difrɛn frɔm wan pikin to ɔda pikin. Na Amɛrika nɔmɔ, 18 pikin dɛn kin day pan sik we dɛn kɔl sɛpsis ɛvride. Dis kin gi wi wan aidia bɔt aw dis sik siriɔs. Bɔt di bɛst pat na dat, if wi as mama ɛn papa no bɔt dis ɛn no di sayn dɛn kwik kwik wan, wi gɛt big chans fɔ sev wi pikin dɛn layf.

Dis tru tru stori go tich yu bɔku tin.

Sɔntɛnde, na we wi yɛri stori, wi kin rili ɔndastand di siriɔs tin we sɔntin apin. Dis na di stori bɔt Zak, we ol 11 ia. In mama we nem Mani, na dɔktɔ.

Wan nɛt, afta we Zak dɔn ple baysbɔl, i bigin fɔ kray. I se in ed de at, in ed de tɔn, ɛn in ni de at. Mama ɛn Papa bin tink se i go mɔs dɔn wund in ni we i bin de ple. Di nɛks mɔnin, in ni bin stil de at, so mama gi am sɔm mɛrɛsin dɛn we de mek i nɔ fil pen ɛn sɛn am na skul. Bɔt afta sɔm tɛm, di skul kɔl.

Pan ɔl we Mani na bin dɔktɔ, i nɔ bin ebul fɔ imajin wetin bin de apin to in yon bɔy pikin. I kɛr Zak go to ɔda dɔktɔ na in wokples. I tek sɔm blɔd ɛn tɛst am, ɛn bigin fɔ tek antibayɔtiks.

Bɔt we di blɔd ripɔt kam bak, wan mak we de sho se pɔsin in inflamɛns bin rili ay. Dɛn bin go to wan dɔktɔ we sabi bɔt bon dɛn. Da tɛm de, Zak bin de fil pen bad bad wan. Di dɔktɔ bin tink se sɔntɛm na jɔyn infekshɔn. Bɔt Zach in kɔndishɔn bin de wɔs mɔ ɛn mɔ. Bay di nɛks nɛt, i bin de fil pen sote i nɔ bin ivin ebul fɔ muf. Dɔn i nɔ bin no natin igen.

Marnie bin tɔk se: “I bin aks mi fɔ wata lɛk 3 p.m..” "As a bin de go gi am di botul wata, i luk mi ɛn se, 'Sɔmbɔdi kin duya fɔ kɛr am go na wi os?'" Na da tɛm de, Mani bin no se sɔntin nɔ rayt. I kɛr Zach go kwik kwik wan na di ɔspitul we de nia am in imejensi rum (ETU). Frɔm de, dɛn kɛr am go na ɔspitul we gɛt wan say usay dɛn de kia fɔ pikin dɛn (PICU).

"Dat taim, nobodi bin get eni aidia wetin de hapun. Nobodi se, 'I get sepsis.' Dɛn bin tink se na sik we tik kin kam wit Bɔt dɛn bin no se in lɔng, in liva, ɛn in kidni dɛn nɔ de wok fayn."

Insay di say usay dɛn de kia fɔ pipul dɛn we sik bad bad wan, dɛn bin gi Zach pawaful antibayɔtiks ɛn put am na wan ventilatɔ. Afta tu dez, dɔktɔ dɛn kam fɔ no se Zak bin gɛt wan bad bad infekshɔn (osteomyelitis) na in rayt thigh bon, we bin mek i gɛt sɛpsis. Dɛn bin ɔpreshɔn Zach kwik kwik wan fɔ mek i pul di pus.

Fɔ lɛk tu wiks so, Zach nɔ bin no natin ɛn i bin de yuz ventilator. Ay fiva, mɛrɛsin fɔ mek blɔd prɛshɔn kɔntinyu, ɛn fɔ pwɛl in lɔng... Na bin ɛl fɔ in mama ɛn papa. Bɔt afta tu wiks, in sik bin de go bifo smɔl smɔl.

If yu pikin gɛt wan ɔ mɔ pan dɛn tin ya, mɔ we i gɛt fiva ɔ ɔda sik, nɔ de te. Go to dɔktɔ wantɛm wantɛm. If nid de, go dairekt to di ɔspitul in Imejɛnsi Dipatmɛnt (ETU).
