An amateur footballer had both of his legs amputated days before his 21st birthday after becoming ill with flu symptoms.
Levi Dewey, now 21, suffered multiple organ failure after catching a form of the flu and subsequently suffered severe sepsis and at one point was described as the sickest person in the country.
Levi’s family was told he only had a 30 per cent chance of survival leaving them devastated. The footballer from Willington, was sporty and lived an active lifestyle playing football
on 7 December, 2022, Levi was taken to Royal Derby Hospital with flu-like symptoms and breathing difficulties. His condition deteriorated at pace and Levi, who now works as a welder at JCB, went into septic shock and had multi-organ failure.
Doctors discovered that he was suffering from influenza B and pneumococcal pneumonia
He spent 20 days on ECMO - 14 of which were in an induced coma. Levi was gradually taken off organ support and, after 31 days, he was taken off a ventilator.
On 9 January, Levi was moved back to Royal Derby for ongoing care, but two days later, he was informed that due to the severity of his sepsis he had contracted, he would need below-knee amputation on both of his legs.
