A brave three-year-old meningitis survivor has taken his first solo steps after having both his legs amputated - thanks to Spiderman prosthetics. Little Taylor Lewsley fought for his life after he contracted a deadly form of meningitis - Meningococcal Septicaemia type w - and a rash consumed his tiny body. His mum Terri, 25, watched helplessly as his limbs and face turned black and doctors told her to say her final goodbyes. The little fighter pulled through after 17 days in a coma - but had to have both legs and all his fingers amputated.
