Andrew Scott Brown was in a coma for nine days, given a 50% chance of survival after surgery, and could not even remember his newborn son's name he eventually awoke.
A young Scots dad had to have his arm amputated to save his life after a potentially deadly sepsis battle.
Father-of-four Andrew told the Record his sepsis symptoms struck within a week of his sore throat and that he had developed foot pain before his arm became red and swollen. Andrew also recalled waking up from his coma nine days later, but it was a further four days before he realised his left arm had been removed."But soon I got really sick and couldn't keep food down. Then my arm became really red and swollen.
Andrew's heartbroken partner Kelseah, who had just given birth two weeks earlier, described her horror when she realised how seriously ill Andrew had become. Kelseah - who is mum to Andrew's four children Hunter, five, Jace, three, Addilyn, one; and newborn Karson - said the dad couldn't remember his baby son's name when he woke from his coma, but she tried everything in her power to help him pull through.
Andrew began his recovery in hospital before eventually being discharged on November 20. Two months later, the young dad is still adjusting to life at home.
