A Kansas mother had all four of her limbs amputated after being diagnosed with toxic shock syndrome following the birth of her son. Brie Morgan Bauer, 35, experienced flu-like symptoms in the days leading up to the birth of her third child in February. At 27 weeks pregnant, she was sent to the hospital where she gave birth to her son Beau, via emergency c-section.

A GoFundMe set up to support the family - which has so far raised over $350,000 - said doctors placed her in “a medically induced coma” as they “advised her family she was unlikely to make it through the night.
” She was subsequently diagnosed with Streptococcal Toxic Shock Syndrome (STSS) brought on by Strep Group A bacteria. Bauer’s infection was in her uterus and she underwent an emergency hysterectomy. “The surgery revealed that parts of her colon had died and she would require another surgery to place an ostomy,” a Gofundme post said.
