My wife, Michelle, received the phone call, asking her to come immediately. I was going to the OR again. I was a victim of one of the deadliest infections known to man, the dreaded “flesh-eating” bacteria. My body was in shock, with a blood pressure of 60/0. As a young physician, I knew something was alarmingly wrong, yet now I was suddenly the patient, unable to help myself. The surgeons moved fast, removing muscle and skin as the infection moved even faster, killing tissue right before their eyes. Tattered Flesh, Resilient Spirit is the incredible story of our struggle with “flesh-eating” bacteria. You will be brought into our midst as we dealt with this horrible illness, the massive tissue destruction, and the deadly and never-ending complications. You will feel the raw emotion, both incredible joy and overwhelming sadness, as Michelle’s journal entries take you to the heat of the moment. You will see our faith in the verses we used to try to understand why this happened to us and witness the Spirit at work in our lives, allowing me to persevere where so few survive.
