After a pinprick rash on her chest turned black and a purple bruise surfaced on her back, Angela and Pete Alward knew somthing was terribly wrong with their 9-month-old daughter Amber. Their family doctor knew this as well and had her airlifted to Stanford Childrens' Hospital, with meningococcemia, a usually fatal disease. Alward lies in her hospital bed. A surgeon amputated her left leg below the knee and her right arm below the elbow to save her life.
