Sheila was just 26 when she contracted meningococcemia. She was in coma for 8 days but survived. She regained her strength but her limbs remained black and lifeless. Barely a month later, she had to make the most difficult decision in her life - face amputation of her limbs or die from the infection. This is her story.

Sheila's Talks
Sorry I haven't been posting about Sheila. She has been traveling to different states to talk about her experiences as a quadruple amputee, and for more than three years now, a double hand transplant recipient. I can only refer to her blog (http://sheilamaya.blogspot.com/) where she posts about her talks, activities, etc. I may be biased because she is my niece, but, honestly, it is a good read.
