In between being a single mother to 4 years old child and running a business, Corrine Hutton did not have any time to get ill.
This is why when she was suffering by persistent cough 6 years back, she chose to suck on lozenges and hope for the best.
The employees of her vehicle graphics company, as well as her young son Rory, relied on her heavily for everything. However, little did the mother knew that her life was about to change dramatically.
In June 2013, she went to a GP after two weeks of coughing. The exercise-loving forty-three-year-old mother was diagnosed with chest infection as well as prescribed antibiotics.
However, her condition was not getting any better even after days and began to cough up blood, feel hot and light-headed.
Then, her friend and her mother insisted that Corrine should go to the hospital. When she reached the hospital, she was rushed straight via a medic.
She was diagnosed with acute pneumonia that combined with usually harmless GBS (Group B Streptococcus) living in her body to turn into sepsis.
Within an hour, she was unconscious and her organs began to shut down one by one. She was then put in medically induced coma for three weeks and her family was told to expect the worse since she only had 5% of survival chance.
She was soon flown to Glenfield Hospital in Leicester in an air ambulance and kept on extracorporeal life in a bid to keep her alive when her heart and lungs were not working.
Miraculously she responded but her feet and hands had been starved of the oxygen and she had developed gangrene.
Her feet had turned purple while her hands resembled solid charcoal blocks. The doctors had to amputate her feet and hands.
However, her spirit was never broken down and she even climbed Kilimanjaro with amputated feet and hands. Recently, she received a double hand transplant, which gave her hands again.
