Jessica Lines can\u2019t shake the doctor\u2019s words, \u201cI\u2019m sorry, he didn\u2019t make it\u201d from her heart.<\/p>\n

Only one month after her baby Ryan turned one, he woke with a runny nose that turned out to be a fatal infection, known as Strep A, which sent him into septic shock.<\/p>\n

Over the next year, the tiny tot went into cardiac arrest, was dead for 10 minutes, and had both \u201chis perfect little feet\u201d amputated.<\/p>\n

Now, nearing his second birthday, Ryan is learning to walk again on his new legs while his mom is building awareness on her \u201cSepsis Superhero,\u201d so no parent has the same horrifying experience with their baby.<\/p>\n

Ryan was born November 3, 2021, to a young Australian couple, Jessica and Sam Lines, and is the baby brother to four-year-old Rory.<\/p>\n

On December 8, Ryan woke up with a runny nose and for the first part of the day, he seemed to be his usual \u201ccheeky\u201d self.<\/p>\n
