When 20-year-old Levi Dewey developed flu symptoms he could have no idea where it would end up. When he began struggling to breathe he went to hospital seeking help.
But after taking a turn for the worse the avid football fan was left "one of the sickest" patients in the country. And doctors warned he had just a 30% chance of surviving after developing flu, pneumonia and sepsis, his family told Derbyshire Live.
Levi, from Willington in Derbyshire, is now preparing to undergo surgery on January 24 to amputate both his legs below the knee. And the life-changing operation will come just two days before his 21st birthday.
