It has now been a few months since life changed for the entire Rantatalo family in Vetlanda.

As early as the first day of the holiday in Gran Canaria, Elin began to feel ill. It went a few days but it did not get better so she applied for a health center. The doctor prescribed antibiotics.

- I thought I would be able to go back to the hotel for my family and rest but quickly the doctor came back and instead I had to go by ambulance to the hospital. They did not find anything wrong with me but then I had terrible pain in my right arm and waist which started to swell.

Hovered between life and death

After two days in hospital, she ended up in a coma affected by acute blood poisoning. She hovered between life and death, but she herself remembers nothing.

- The first strong memories I have only four weeks after I entered the hospital. When I saw my feet, I understood what would happen.

Elin had to amputate both her feet and nine fingers.

See her tell in the clip above.
