A mum-of-two has had both legs amputated and is due to lose most of her fingers weeks after going to bed with flu-like symptoms. Julianna Bransden, a primary school teacher from Narberth, Pembrokeshire, first started feeling ill last Christmas.
The 44-year-old's condition deteriorated and by New Year's Eve she was "stuck in bed", reports LancsLive. On New Year's Day her husband Tim said she "could not lift her head of the pillow" and did not feel well enough to even check her phone or get in the car.
He called 111 for advice and it was recommended that Julianna continue to rest. But Tim's instinctive decision to call an ambulance instead ultimately saved her life.
