Picture
BENTLEY - USA
Born October 6, 2013

Late-onset


Mother's GBS Status: Tested positive
Gestational Age: 37 weeks
Age Harmed: 4 weeks







Bentley was 4 weeks old when he was experiencing difficulty breathing. We brought him to the hospital where he went into respiratory failure. He was put into a coma for his comfort, and on life support. They did a spinal tap, blood transfusion, brain scans and thankfully he did not have meningitis. It took 10 days being in the PICU until he was finally cleared to go home. Thanking God every single day for our little miracle.
