A nine-year-old girl from Birmingham has shown extraordinary resilience after undergoing life-changing surgery following a severe meningococcal infection. Brogan-Lei Partridge, who was initially thought to have a minor infection, was later diagnosed with meningococcal meningitis and septicaemia, a life-threatening condition that progressed rapidly and required intensive medical intervention.
The illness led to the amputation of both of Brogan’s feet, but her positive attitude and determination to adapt have inspired those around her. Her family is now sharing their experience to raise awareness about the early symptoms of meningitis and the importance of prompt medical attention.
