Tot's leg comes off in his mum's hand and he loses all four limbs as a throat infection turned into sepsis
A BABY has lost all four limbs after a throat infection turned into sepsis and his leg came off in his mum's hand.
Abigail, a jewellery designer, said: "Some people might feel sorry for us but I feel like the luckiest mum in the world - I still have Oliver with us - he might not have any hands or feet but he is still my smiley, brave little boy."But Oliver was so brave that I knew I had to be brave too. I am his mum and it's my job to fight for him and make him feel safe.
It can be especially hard to spot in: babies and young children, people with dementia, people with a learning disability and people who have difficulty communicating.You should get antibiotics within 1 hour of arriving at hospital. Incredibly, the little boy pulled through - and survived with no damage to his brain, but the sepsis has caused both hands and his legs to turn black and effectively die off.Medics battled to save length in Oliver's leg, but mum Abigail begged them to speed the operation along because she could see the leg self-amputating.
