Anna Norquist, 30, has had to have an arm and a leg amputated as she battles for her life against the deadly condition known as toxic shock syndrome (TSS). Already, the former gymnast has had ten surgeries in an effort to get the infection under control. Her family is asking for prayers as Anna continues her fight.

According to Fox News, Anna has already undergone ten surgeries at Indiana University Health Methodist Hospital, including the amputation of her right arm and left leg. Today reported that Anna is also scheduled to have her left hand amputated on Friday.
