For all of you who have not heard the story of how Britney got sick here is a condensed version. 1 1/2 weeks ago Britney had a sudden onset Toxic Shock Syndrome that came from a infection of her uterus by Strep A. She had sudden onset belly pain. She made it through an appendectomy and a hysterectomy (this saved her life). Last Saturday night she was being transferred to the University Medical Center in Tucson to possibly put an assist device in her heart to help her heart and lungs recover from the sepsis. On the way there her heart stopped multiple times. Luckily a heart surgeon transferred Britney herself and saved her through CPR and placing Britney on a type of heart and lung bypass called ECMO. She had another stable night.
