In any situation you find yourself be happy.

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.”
