Marie Trainer had just returned from the time of her life in the spring of 2019, having had a tropical vacation. Marie\u2019s dog greeted her warmly when she returned home from vacation, despite her disappointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her pet puppy usually greeted her with kisses, so the Ohio resident didn\u2019t notice the small cut on her hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The days that followed Marie\u2019s homecoming were completely unexpected, as her condition rapidly deteriorated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her husband, Matt Trainer, saw her health fast deteriorating and advised her to seek medical attention at a local hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t feeling well and just got sicker and sicker,\u201d Marie added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After seeking medical assistance, Marie fell into a coma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigations revealed that a bacteria known as Capnocytophaga canimorsus was the cause of Marie\u2019s uncommon infection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medical specialists suspect the germs entered Marie\u2019s immune system when her dog licked the open lesion on her hand.
This is because the bacterium is widely present in cats\u2019 and dogs\u2019 saliva.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While exceedingly rare, capnocytophaga bacteria can cause catastrophic complications such as sepsis, heart attack, renal failure, severe blood clots, and gangrene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, Marie survived the terrifying incident, but the amputation resulted in the loss of both her legs and arms.
Dr. Ajay Seth, who treated Marie, told Fox News that \u201cit was just rapidly progressing where her hands and feet were turning black.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite receiving instructions to amputate all four limbs at the torso, Dr. Seth remained committed to preserving as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, the Ohio mother had both of her legs amputated up to her knees, and physicians were able to salvage huge portions of her arms.
While the outcome is better than expected, Marie has had a difficult time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been challenging,\u201d she said. \u201cLearning how to walk was the hardest thing, but I\u2019m good; I\u2019m doing good.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, Marie received myoelectric prostheses, enabling her to resume tasks like gardening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe see the light at the end of the tunnel; we just adjust what we have to do; it just takes more planning when we want to do something,\u201d Marie\u2019s husband explained.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
