Matt's Story: Fresh Perspective Following a Quadruple Amputation

Matt P., a Missouri resident, was gearing up for an active retirement when he was diagnosed with a rare bacterial infection. His wife, Michelle, was told that he had a 1% chance of survival. But survive he did, even following sepsis that led to the loss of all four of his limbs. Ever since, he’s been engaged in intensive inpatient and DayRehab therapy at Shirley Ryan AbilityLab.
Matt focuses not on what he’s lost, but on the new beginning he’s starting.
“This detoured my life, but it isn’t the end. It’s not about yesterday; it’s about tomorrow.”
