Alex Lewis, father of one, came down with a common cold in late 2013, which quickly developed into septicaemia and toxic shock syndrome. With less than a 3% chance of survival, doctors fought to save him. From arriving back at his family home and readjusting his relationships, to taking his first steps, this film delves into some of the raw moments that shape his days.
Starting just days after he lost his last limb, the film follows Alex’s incredible journey as he seeks his purpose in life, rebuilds his relationships and reinvents himself.

What a strong, resilient couple !
From today no excuses.
I had already read about TSS in several usual textbooks of internal medicine i have but always thought just a hemobacterial infection (septicemia) and course of higher antibiotics after hospitalization for few days and thats it but this story left me with no words, never imagined it could be such a devastating infection with loss of bodily parts through amputation surgeries…
♥️
Wow, what an incredibly brave couple and an absolute inspiration. ❤

WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM ? 😭
Was his immune system lacking severely? Just saying “bacteria was attacking him” is an unsatisfying explanation, like there's so much missing.
it's so good to see how they loved and cared for each other so much
Kaum zu ertragen was dieser Mann durchmacht meinen größten Respekt!
This is so insanely sad
Speechless
Imagine spending 8 years with someone and not marrying them and something traumatic happens….something so traumatic that his mother has to make the medical decisions because the partner can not….. scary
