Eva, 4, died of sepsis after hospitals failed to tell parents about blood disorder 🔴 Her parents were not told about the blood disorder which led to her death when it was identified by tests
It was only last year at the inquest into Eva’s death that Michelle and Ged learnt that she had neutropenia, a blood disorder which had made her vulnerable to an invasive infection that had become rapidly overwhelming, causing septic shock.
Michelle is speaking out now to help raise awareness of sepsis. “Losing Eva, it’s the worst pain,” she said, breaking down. “Had we known about the neutropenia, things could have turned out differently. We wouldn’t have waited at all and would have rushed her to hospital straight away. Eva’s death could have been avoided. She was such a caring little girl, we know she wouldn’t want another family to go through this.
Eva went back to Ormskirk for blood tests on three occasions throughout November, with each one showing her neutropenia levels remained low. Despite this, no further investigations were instigated, the parents allege. But then in January 2020, Eva came down with a fever, was vomiting, had a rash over her limbs and chest and complained of pain in her feet when walking. “We knew she was really poorly to want to stay off school because she loved school.”
