In 2013, Alex Lewis thought he had the flu and believed a few days of rest in bed would help him feel better. But instead of improving, his condition got worse. His skin started turning purple, and he was rushed to the hospital.

Doctors found out it wasn’t the flu at all—Alex had caught a serious Strep A infection that led to Septicaemia (a dangerous blood infection). The situation was so bad that doctors told him he had only a 3% chance of surviving.

Things got even worse, and the hospital considered turning off his life support because they didn’t think he would make it. Then Alex was told that if he wanted to live, he would have to lose all his arms and legs, along with part of his face.

He agreed to the surgeries, and thankfully, they were successful. Against all odds, Alex survived.

In the years after, Alex shared with the media that he had no regrets. He even said that the year it all happened turned out to be the best year of his life.

这是他一生中最美好的一年。

2013年，亚历克斯·刘易斯（Alex Lewis）以为自己得了流感，卧床休息几天就能好转。然而，他的病情非但没有好转，反而恶化了。他的皮肤开始变紫，被紧急送往医院。

医生发现，这根本不是流感——亚历克斯感染了严重的甲型链球菌，并引发了败血症（一种危险的血液感染）。情况非常糟糕，医生告诉他，他的存活几率只有3%。

情况变得更糟，医院甚至考虑关闭他的生命支持系统，因为他们认为他活不下去了。后来，亚历克斯被告知，如果他想活下去，就必须失去所有的胳膊和腿，以及部分脸部。

他同意了手术，谢天谢地，手术很成功。亚历克斯克服了重重困难，活了下来。

在之后的几年里，亚历克斯向媒体表示，他并不后悔。他甚至说，发生这一切的那一年，恰恰是他人生中最美好的一年。
