A mother who was told over and over her son wouldn't make it spoke of her joy after hearing him saying 'mum' for the first time in eight months. Georgia Eaton said her final goodbyes to James five times as doctors prepared her for the worst.
James first became unwell with a high temperature and bursts of dizziness in December 2021. After multiple trips to seek medical help, his local GP was stumped, and James' symptoms continued.
Just weeks later, in January 2022, Georgia walked into James' room, at their home in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire, to find him bleeding from the mouth with 'blue lips and vacant eyes'. The schoolboy was rushed to the Countess of Chester Hospital, Chester, and put on life-support.
