'Everything was under control for our baby in hospital until staff changeover - hours later he was dead'
Devastated parents of a four-month-old boy say they were told to 'calm down' as they begged for him to be moved to another hospital moments before he died. Michael Gallagher was born prematurely at 27 weeks on May 24, along with his twin sister Angel, yet he had developed well in the months that followed and weighed almost 20lb less than five months later.
"He was fighting and fighting and fighting," mum Susanna, 32, told the Manchester Evening News . "He suffered a bad death and there was nothing I could do, they wouldn't listen to me. Susanna says she was worried about how it could affect Michael with him being premature and doctors tried to reassure her, but after Michael appeared 'blue' he was given oxygen. Michael spent time at the hospital's high dependency unit , before being kept in at the Starlight children's unit for a few days.
"Everything was under control," said Susanna. "They had plan B and plan C, when we were still on plan A." Having been called out for a second opinion, an on-call consultant arrived at Wythenshawe Hospital in the early hours of the morning. Susanna says that by this time, she was 'hysterical' screaming that she wanted Michael moved to Oxford Road - only to be told: "Listen to me... it's bronchiolitis, calm down."
