Most sixteen year-old kids joyride in Daddy's pickup. Not Brian
Thomas. Instead, you find him out buzzing the football team in
Daddy's airplane. Flying is his life-it's in his blood. Both of his
parents are pilots. His older brother is in the Air Force. And he
can't imagine himself as anything but an aviator. That is, until
the bleeding disorder he's battled since he was two years old
sidelines him. After several failed chemotherapy treatments, Brian
opts for a potentially disease-curing, but risky spleen removal.
After more chemotherapy, he regains his flight status, but now he's
left with an altered immune system. In April of 2009, Brian leaves
his job at Duncan Aviation, where he is an aviation mechanic, to go
home with what he thinks is the flu. Four hours later, he is
comatose and on life-support. His hands, feet, and face develop
gangrene. Ten days later when he wakes up, he must face the
prospect of becoming a quadruple amputee. Surgeons save his left
hand, but he faces a long road to recovery, and regaining his life.
