An avid Nottingham Forest fan has opened up about how his son was left deaf after catching meningitis. James Vincent, from Derbyshire, has spoken of his heartbreak after his son George was robbed from his hearing at only three years old.
Mr Vincent said he felt "helpless", admitting he knew "nothing about meningitis" at the time, reports Derbyshire Live. George became ill in December 2021, when he woke up with a fever and loss of appetite.
When he was taken to the hospital doctors discovered he had the highest rate of infection of meningitis they had ever seen. After George was treated, his family was told that he had been an hour away from dying.
