A Michigan mother of seven whose sore throat turned into a life-threatening strep infection is battling for her life as doctors work to save her organs. Shannon McGeorge, of Troy, Michigan, was admitted to the hospital two weeks ago after she started suffering from flu-like symptoms, her family told Fox 2 Detroit.
"They told us she had strep, the flu, and she was severely dehydrated," Anastasia Coleman, McGeorge's daughter, told the news outlet. "When they were hydrating her, her throat started to swell closed. Her organs were shutting down and she had sepsis from the strep. And basically had a 10 percent chacne of living through that day."
