No father on the planet wants to miss his kids growing up. That’s why most dads exercise caution and carefulness to ensure that they’ll always be there for their children. Gary Evans was a wonderful father who was devoted to his six kids, frequently taking them on family excursions, like crabbing on the Gulf of Mexico.
Evans began showing symptoms less than 24 hours after the crabbing excursion. He was experiencing the telltale symptoms of necrotizing fasciitis, including a high temperature, soreness, blisters and the inability to walk.
The family rushed Evans to the ICU, where doctors administered antibiotics. Sadly, the antibiotics failed to yield results and doctors rushed Evans into surgery, hoping they could physically eradicate the affected areas and prevent the further spread of bacteria.
Tragically, the surgery washttps://youtu.be/gtbe2TFsoaI?t=1 unsuccessful. Evans’ wife, Debbie, was given the most heartbreaking news a spouse could ever receive, which was that her husband had only 76 hours left to live.
“They did everything they could do,” Debbie said according to People Magazin. “He was [very] sick and it ended up beating him. It spread into his liver, his kidneys and he was on a respirator. It also got into his [blood] and started collapsing his veins.”
There has been a slew of stories about people contracting this horrifying disease, mostly within the southeastern region of the United States. An Alabama man is currently fighting for his life due to the same virus and a Californian father of two has also passed away from this disease.
“This bacteria is a lot worse than people really think it is,” Debbie said according to People Magazin, warning the public to understand that the virus spreads like wildfire and cannot be easily contained.
