The parents of a toddler who was sent home from hospital with what was believed to be a urine infection have issued an emotional warning after the youngster tragically died from sepsis.
Evie Crandle's worried mum and dad took her to be reviewed after she had become lethargic and her lips had turned blue. However, parents Sam and Phil were asked to capture a urine sample and told their 15-month old girl could be treated at home with Calpol and ibuprofen, despite Evie's high temperature of 39.9C and rapid heart rate.
Nurses at Whiston Hospital in St Helen's, Merseyside had moved to reassure the family by putting Evie's symptoms down to the suspected UTI, but the little one later rapidly deteriorated and passed away from the blood infection on April 16, 2018.
