10They even removed a section of his face

The infection had gone to the point of Alex’s face also being infected which is why the doctors had to remove that section of his mouth. It seemed Alex’s world just came crumbling down over him but he was helpless.

11He pulled through with support from his wife and son

The 33-year old’s life was about to change dramatically. It was only his wife Lucy and his son Sam who gave him the hope to see that there was light at the end of the tunnel. They needed him in their lives and he had won his life back. Doctors had saved him and that was the important thing.

12Alex is an inspiration

If you think Alex was bogged down by his condition, then think again. Alex has gone kayaking, boating, and even skydiving. He has toured places and even been to Greenland. Alex is actually an inspiration of how to see the positive side of life. He didn’t consider it a bleak future for himself; he embraced life with as much enthusiasm as he had always done before.
