As part of my daily routine before starting office works, I always start my day visiting our company chapel 4th floor of the building, just beside our office, reading the daily reflection of DIDACHE by Bo Sanches (June 10,2013),mistakenly thought it was July 10,2013. I was touched and moved by the story of the writer who happened to have an aunt-in-law suffering from a blood infection called sepsis, her aunt-in-law miraculously survived the deadly disease.
Sepsis is a deadly medical condition characterized by a whole-body inflammatory state called a systemic inflammatory response syndrome or SIRS caused by severe infection (Wikipedia )
Caused
