CHRISTOPHER JOSEPH — USA
August 30, 2024 - September 13, 2024 Early-onset Mother's GBS Status: Tested positive Gestational Age: 40 weeks, 3 days Age Harmed: 5 days old |
I had my son after being induced for high blood pressure. I was given antibiotics in the hospital, but he was never monitored, never had blood work, a urine test or given antibiotics. He was in the room with me the entire time. When we brought him home I had brought him to the pediatrician multiple times due to being warm and seeming to be tired all the time and some pimples on his chest and she said he was fine. He ended up passing away a day later after the pimples popped up on his chest. He ended up going into end stage organ failure which was caused by GBS sepsis. My son went from the most beautiful boy in the world, being happy and smiling to 12 hours later being gone. If you feel like something‘s wrong, please don’t be afraid to seek medical attention elsewhere. If somebody would’ve listened to me, he might still be alive.
