The incredible story of the 16-year-old who was paralyzed and lost his child because of a tattoo

Louise Fernanda Bouitrago, 16, had decided to get a tattoo under her right breast, despite her pregnancy. Experts do not usually recommend touching the skin during pregnancy, although normally the harmful effects of pregnancy are not so serious. After the tattoo, the girl began to feel pain in her legs as well as the appearance of a number of physical problems she had never had before. She underwent several specialized visits confirming that her teenager had suffered a bad infection.

J A WHAT HAPPINESS

Luisa has been attacked by a bacteria that has left her paralyzed for the rest of her life. In addition, he had to undergo surgery to clean infected blood, which caused an abortion. Luisa had the courage to tell her terrible story on a Facebook video, explaining the reasons that led to the fetus' loss: “At that point the drugs were many and the fetus could not afford” The young woman, who is slowly returning to her life, also tells of a period of depression because of the shock she experienced.

“The situation was very difficult when the neurosurgeon told me “you're not going to walk” because in reality a young woman in a wheelchair can't do anything. Everything I do needs help, I can't do anything alone. I am not independent, even at night, to have someone available for a problem. But the inability to move has not prevented Luisa from realizing her dreams: the girl has just graduated and wants to become an environmental engineer. Meanwhile, in October, it will undergo another intervention that can restore its ability to walk. /Living
