Baby Oscar was born a ‘perfectly healthy little boy’ and his family were living in a ‘happy little newborn bubble’.
But just weeks into his life, Oscar Pennington let out a screech his mum had never heard before. At first, concerned mum Vicky Pearson just thought his incoming symptoms could be the sign of a cold but within hours, Oscar was on the verge of death with meningitis.
As the waking nightmare continued, doctors rushed Oscar to treatment to save his life before the tiny baby’s parents were able to keep vigil at his bedside. “When we eventually got to see our tiny three-week-old baby, it was heart-breaking,” Vicky said.
