A 25-year-old lady named Lisa Lee recently told Metro a heartbreaking story that serves as a sobering reminder of how fleeting life is. Lisa was sound asleep next to her 25-year-old husband Lewis Little when she heard what she thought were his snores. She gave him a little prod in an attempt to ease his agony out of concern. She had no idea that this one deed would alter her life forever.
“I tried to wake him up because I thought he was just snoring.” However, reality set me when I felt the dampness of the sheets. His face was battered and he was having trouble breathing when I switched on the light. With much regret, Lisa recalled, “I called for an ambulance right away, but the minutes felt like an eternity.”
The devastating news that Lewis had died a few hours ago was finally disclosed when the ambulance came. Lisa was certain she had heard him snoring, therefore she found it difficult to accept this reality. The startling explanation provided by the medical staff was that the sounds she thought were snores were actually the last gasses leaving his body, softly rubbing against his vocal cords.
Tragically, Lewis had been silently fighting a rare genetic heart rhythm disorder called Brugada syndrome. Lewis had been offered hope, despite the fact that this disease can be fatal. Experts in medicine had informed him that he would live a long and happy life if given the right treatment.
Sadly, Lewis passed away from Brugada syndrome a year after he was diagnosed. It’s hard to imagine such a potential young life taken from you.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Lisa and all those impacted by this tragic loss. Lewis, may he live in eternal peace.
