Mills was airlifted to Kandahar, then Germany, where doctors performed four amputations. He clung to life, stabilized, and became one of only five quadruple amputees from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to survive their injuries. Eventually, he was flown to Walter Reade Medical Center in Maryland for recovery. But recovery didn’t feel like a given.
