Woman Survives Necrotizing Fasciitis (Flesh Eating Bacteria)
Sandy Wilson survived a 5 year battle with a flesh eating bacteria called necrotizing fasciitis.
Sandy Wilson has just given birth when she was told that she had an infection after a c-section. She recalls that day, "When I looked down at my belly, basically all the skin was gone and I could see my internal organs," she said. "I remember seeing my intestines. I thought, 'There's no way I can live like this ... This is a death sentence.'"
Necrotizing Fasciitis can happen at any moment without warning and usually affects people with weak immune systems, cancer patients, obese people, diabetics and transplant patients. The flesh eating bacteria kills 20% of those affected and leaves many disfigured.
In the case of Sandy Wilson, the necrotizing fasciitis ate away her spleen, gallbladder, sections of her stomach and all of her intestines. She had to undergo several surgeries over 5 years during which she had to support lots of pain and even worse her husband left her.
