‘Praise the Lord!’ Rock Hill Mother Returns Home After Having Arms, Legs Amputated

Enduring an unprecedented health crisis

Rock Hill, South Carolina – A local mother, Ciara Dierking, fought an exceptional battle and is finally back home after being away for nearly half a year. Last year, she fell critically ill while visiting family in Pennsylvania and was diagnosed with Flu, Strep Throat, and Pneumonia, all at once. The situation turned for the worst as toxins entered her bloodstream, leading to septic shock. Her organs started to fail, and she had to be put on life support. At one dire point, her heart stopped beating.

The Fight for Life

In a bid to survive, doctors had no choice but to carry out a quadruple amputation, leaving Ciara without her arms and legs. Yet, through the relentless spirit of hope and a will to survive, she spent the last five and a half months in a Charlotte hospital, constantly fighting against the odds.

A Joyous Return

Accompanied by a wave of relief and joy, Ciara was finally given the all-clear last week to return home. The moment her husband and family had been eagerly waiting for finally arrived. The news of her homecoming was announced on her Facebook page, ‘Ciara & Colton Updates’, with the joyous exclamation, “Praise the Lord! After 168 days, Ciara is finally HOME!!!!”
