Texas mother is forced to undergo QUADRUPLE amputation after freak complication from surgery

A mother-of-two was forced to undergo a quadruple amputation after suffering from rare complications following an operation to alleviate her migraines.

Wyndi Adkins, from Blooming Grove, Texas, underwent nerve decompression surgery on the back of her neck in October 2019.

But, just 12 days later, she was airlifted to Dallas after suffering a major strep infection which turned into sepsis. 

The 44-year-old was put in a medically-induced coma for nearly two weeks before the decision was made to amputate parts of all four limbs.

Wyndi had suffered complications following an operation to reduce the pressure causing her migraines.

She was put into a medically-induced coma as doctors told her family she had just a five per cent chance of survival.

Wyndi woke up 13 days later to see that her hands and feet had turned black before the decision was made for her to undergo a quadruple amputation. 

In an interview with Fox News, Wyndi said: 'Unfortunately, there was no blood flow back to the limbs once I woke up so, we had to amputate.'

She lost both her hands, a part of her right foot and her left leg six inches below the knee. 

The mother-of-two, who has 21-year-old twins, continued: 'In the beginning, when I really understood everything that was going on, it was really hard. I got really depressed.' 

Wyndi, who has been married for 22 years, explained: 'Sitting around feeling sorry for myself wasn't an option. 

'I knew I had to get up and do it… if I wanted to be around for my family.'

Wyndi said she knew that if she had given up then she would also be giving up on her children, adding 'they're everything to me.'

She told the publication: 'Between my faith and my family, I decided I needed to pretty much give it to God and do what I can to overcome what has happened.' 

The amputee also revealed that she had been helped through the ordeal by her emotional support dog Mazi - a two-year-old Chiweenie.

Wyndi has since begun learning to walk again using prosthetic legs in order to regain her independence. 

In recent months, she also underwent a procedure called a muscle flap transplant that reconstructed her heel. 

Wyndi continues to go from strength to strength but has now set up a Go Fund Me page seeking $50,000.

It hopes to cover the costs of i-Limb Quantum bionic hands, which give users the ability to move all five fingers, well as a new electric wheelchair.
