Marathon Running Mother-of-two Has Her Legs And Fingers Amputated After Being Hit By PNEUMONIA

A mother-of-two who fell desperately ill on Christmas Eve had to have her lower legs and fingers amputated after being hit by pneumonia. Tracy Ralph, of Hawkwell, Essex, is a keen runner who was training for a half marathon when she reported feeling short of breath of December 24.

She was found to be suffering from pneumonia and her condition rapidly deteriorated over the following days.

After being put into a medically-induced coma on Christmas Day, she has since battled organ failure, meningitis, septicaemia, blood clots and bleeding on the brain.

Tragically, the 34-year-old, who has two sons aged four and 19-months, had to have her fingers and legs amputated below the knee.

She came out of her coma on New Year's Eve, but is still in intensive care in St Thomas's hospital, London. Dailymail
