striker15 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) got to take callum to hospital he's really sick get the paramedics ,or take him there quick in there hands we have complete trust the best care available ,this is a must initial diagnosis of meningitis doesnt sound too good but we've faith in the doctors like everyone should 24 hours on antibiotics ,he's a different lad sat up in bed smilimg and talking ,were ever so glad along comes a doctor ,shes not seen him before test results / notes she decides to ignore its an ear infection ,he need an op after its done the antibiotics can stop sent home the next day in pain but trying to be strong how relieved we were the initial diagnosis was wrong for 2 days laid on sofa crying in pain what can i do , its driving me insane next morning callum was not really not well somethings not right as a parent can tell called the paramedics,they arrived quick but it seemed so long the look on there faces i knew something was wrong in the ambulance blue lights flashing siren loud and shrill on arrival tests were done , we are told callum's is critically ill transfering him to sheffield , we can't do anything for him here is this a nightmare im scared and frightened so full of fear the surgeons are waiting to operate on his brain to reduce the swelling ,they've put in a drain the next time we see him he's in intensive care the whole of the family can't believe he's there on a life support in icu for 91 days his mum will not leave him ,by his bedside she stays doctor after doctor try everything they know unfortunately for callum the infection wont go doctors advice us to turn off his life support as family the decision is made we are absolutely distraught callum lasted 30 hours before he took his last breath tears flowed like a river because of his death several months later thinking callum's care was not right we complained to the hospital ,for answers we would fight they did an investigation and sent us a report they admitted so many failings just as we thought we contacted a solicitor to see how legally we stood she was shocked by the events and said callum's care was not good she took on our case,they can't get away with this she left no stone unturned ,nothing did she miss a letter arrived from NHS solicitors out of the blue in it they confirmed everything that we knew they admitted KILLING my beautiful son our legal battle we'd eventually won a letter of apology from the hospital we got and in it a statement that made us say ....what ? if callums antibiotics hadnt been stopped on the monday he would gone on to make a full recovery so the doctor who decided callum was ill because of his ear took his life in his 14th year by stopping the antibiotics it cost him his life she may as well stabbed him with a knife the CPS ,say she's done nothing to answer for but we will keep on fighting harder than before soon there will be an inquest and we pray decisions are made that finally gets justice for CALLUM BLADE ---------- Post added 06-02-2018 at 09:14 ---------- this poem is in tribute to my son , who died on 08/ 02 /2014 its also based on facts , Edited February 6, 2018 by striker15 duplicate thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Luthor Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I wanted to respond yesterday but the thread was removed before my post could be added. Callum's story is heartbreaking. You have done him and many others a great service by sharing your very moving poem with us. God bless Callum and keep him happy and safe until you are all re-united, and may he give you the strength to do what you feel is right by him.
