she had a serious GBS infection that spread to her organs and ultimately caused cardiac arrest. I tested positive but they gave me antibiotics when I went into labour. How could something like this happen?? Can you get the infection afterwards?
I suppose it could happen if she wasn't treated appropriately with antibiotics. Or If they didn't know she was gbs positive. That's so so sad. I can't imagine the loss that her family and friends are going through.

I'm so sorry for your loss, that is absolutely heartbreaking.
If the infection wasn't controlled with antibiotics as Lola said, I think it could cause septicemia. I could be wrong of course. Again, I'm so sorry.

No, I think you and Lola are right. There is no reason in this day and age that somebody should die like that.
I have a serious Amazon problem now that I have prime!

Driving home from our friends 1yr old's birthday party( in the snow, which is terrible all the sudden). Anyway, I realized that we need more friends with babies DS' age. I think I feel like we have more than we actually do because of our July '14 group, but in real life not so much. It'd be nice to have friends to get together with that have babies in the same stage.
bigrock74 I just saw your post; im so sorry for the loss of your friend and for that poor family. I just told my husband and he said he can't imagine what he would do. What a terrible thing.
So TODAY we're supposed to go buy the new couches because today is the only day this weekend where we can order them. They close at 6 and Greg works all day tomorrow.

In Canada do they do the swab mandatory like they do in the US? Is there any difference in protocol?
This seems like a ridiculous and shitty way to die.
Yes they do. I don't think the protocol is different than what it would be for you guys. I tested positive and they gave me the antibiotic when I went into labour.

Was she in the hospital when she died?
She had a scheduled c-section on Feb 6th. In Canada they keep you for 4 days after the surgery, so she was home on the 9/10th (i can't remember which day she came home). She was rushed back into the hospital on the 16th and from what I understand they were going to do a hysterectomy when they found the infection. It had attacked her organs and she went into cardiac arrest that evening.

That is so incredibly sad. Seems like it could have been prevented.

It does seem that way, doesn't it. It's has been/is still so hard to process this entire situation. I've been looking at her pics on Facebook just trying to convince myself to believe it. The reality will set in Monday.

I know! It's like Christmas! I was the worst when I was on maternity leave. Amazon probably thought I was the best though. I had prime packages showing up everyday it seemed like.
I need to turn off Disney Channel and TiVo. I had no idea this snow storm was coming and I only have a little bit of wine!
Ugh....
DH and I just got home. We're getting slammed with snow right now. We saw many, many cars turning into the local liquor store as we drove by. I'm surprised they still have anything left to sell.

Funny side note.
My parents own a liquor store. For two weeks after Valentines Day all the liquor companies/distributers in NJ shut down for two weeks and give all of their employees vacation. They all do this, and it's been that way since the 1970's. It's called casually as "liquor week"
My brother and his wife, who run our store, figured this would be an easy week to sneak away and visit her grandparents to Puerto Rico. My dad (the owner) is in Florida. I can't even imagine the chaos that is my liquor store right now. I don't even want to hop in my car and drive over. I'm skeered. In NJ, literally, they can have bare shelves because other than beer, nothing is getting delivered.
I have no idea who is running my family business right now and just had the braniac idea to call my dad.
