The parents of a baby who was taken ill with meningitis at 10 weeks old have described how they "broke down" when he was taken into hospital. Ellie Brice, 32, and Ryan Davies, 27, welcomed their fourth son, Joseph, into the world in March.
He was immediately put on antibiotics to help with a suspected infection but was sent home happy and healthy soon after. But when he was 10 weeks old his mum noticed he wasn't drinking from his bottles and booked a doctor's appointment.
By the afternoon he was feeling fine again so she took her sons to Barry Island. By the evening Joseph was struggling to breathe and feeling groggy so Ellie and Ryan phoned 111 and an ambulance arrived to take Joseph to the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff.
