From 3% to 100% Courage

In 2013, Alex Lewis was given a mere 3% chance to survive. What started as a simple trip to the hospital for what he thought was the flu turned into a life-or-death battle. Within hours, his skin turned purple, and doctors discovered that a Group A streptococcal infection had triggered deadly sepsis. ππ

As his organs began to fail, doctors were prepared to turn off his life support, but Alex made an incredible, life-altering decision. In a moment of unimaginable bravery, he chose to amputate all four limbs and part of his face, just to stay alive. π¦Ώπ¦Ύπ The surgeries were grueling, the recovery excruciating, but Alexβs resolve never faltered. His spirit remained unbroken, a true testament to the power of courage in the face of overwhelming adversity. ππ
