His parents discovered he had contracted a common childhood infection and not the rare condition that they were initially told
The parents of a baby who died are demanding answers after discovering he had contracted a common childhood infection and not the rare condition that they were initially told.
The common childhood infection causes a range of symptoms and rarely affects the heart, however, in very young babies, enterovirus can cause severe illness in the first few weeks of life. Elijah was born healthy, and was discharged from hospital with Joann a day after he was born. Covid-19 restrictions remained in place at that time and no other visitors saw Elijah other than dad Christian, as well as the health care professionals.
"But we still don't have any answers. It has been hard. With my daughter, if we didn't have her, I don't know how we would have survived it, to be honest. When you have another child, you have got to keep going for them."
