Within hours of baby Ezrah appearing 'restless and grouchy' his parents were told the devastating news that their 19-day-old son had meningitis. He then suffered a severe brain injury and died at Bristol Children's Hospital.
His heartbroken parents have now decided to share their story to raise awareness in the hope that no other families endure the same anguish. Craig Pollard, 37, and Sarah Doolin, 34, from Cornwall, suffered every parent's worst nightmare last month when baby Ezrah suddenly became unwell without warning.
Initially restless and grouchy and missing a feed, he started grunting and his temperature rose quickly. The couple contacted 111 and were told to wait for an ambulance. But, an hour later, they called 999 only to learn one was not coming. They drove Ezrah to A&E themselves, reports Cornwall Live.
