Chloe Louise Hince, 18, and Josh Simpson, 21, watched little Arianna-Mai Simpson die on August 15, after a five day battle with liver failure.Credit: Media WalesArianna-Mai weighed 6lb and a half ounce when she was born on July 29 2019, at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital in Llantrisant, Wales."I wish we were planning days out, our first Christmas, our first holiday, but we are not."
Before they took her home, doctors conducted a series of blood tests, and the test results came back just over a week later.Arianna said doctors had to take two sets of bloods from the young baby, and only afterwards were they able to diagnose the baby with galactosaemia. Chloe and Josh claim if doctors had earlier found out about her metabolic disease, she could still be alive today.Galactosaemia is an inherited metabolic disease caused by defects in the metabolism.They include: vomiting, diarrhoea, jaundice, liver dysfunction, and sepsis, which if untreated can result in life-threatening complications.But the following day, on August 12, her blood pressure shot up.
Josh said: "When she came back from the scan we were then told one pupil was 4mm dilated and the other was 5mm dilated and neither were responding to light."Medics have said sepsis caused her brain to swell, pushing through her skull and falling into the back of her neck. An investigation has been launched into the treatment of Arianna, as the parents believe the signs of sepsis were not pick up early enough.
