To lose Daniel in the way we did will haunt us forever. He was our beloved boy and for him to be taken away so suddenly and cruelly is something we'll never get over. There's not a day goes by when we don't think of him and it's difficult not to think how he should be at home with us.
Ms Alushi urged parents who witness a 'sudden change' in their child's health, including 'not eating, not drinking, not sleeping well, not playing' to 'take it very seriously' and go to hospital. She added that parents should ask doctors the question: 'Could it be sepsis?'
We'll always remain devastated by Daniel's death and how when he needed help the most he was let down. The family said they have had 'so many unanswered questions' and 'remain upset at the Hospital Trust.'
While doctors missed a sepsis diagnosis for Daniel, the trust was not neglectful in its care. Sepsis is when the body's immune system overreacts to an infection and starts attacking its own tissues and organs.
