Last Friday night Jennifer, the 1 and a half year old daughter of two members of the Dagda became ill. The first real indication that something was wrong was that Jennifer was being s...ick and developed a small 50p sized dark blister over one eye.
Chris and Lucy called the emergency services and the ambulance responded within 10 minutes and took her straight to Stafford District General Hospital. This is a journey of about 20 minutes. By the time she arrived at hospital she had progressed to having dark blood blisters over approximately 40 % of her body. Jennifer was immediately diagnosed with meningitis. Initially it was thought to be Viral which is bad enough in a child of Jennifer's size and age and is pretty serious and involves high doses of antibiotics and a long stay in hospital. After some more tests she was re-diagnosed with BACTERIAL meningitis.
During this time she suffered 2 cardiac arrests and went down hill rapidly. Her body started shutting down and the doctors did all they could to stabilise her. It was soon discovered that Stafford didn't have enough equipment to fully support Jennifer as the doctors were now trying to cope with 2 cardiac arrests , kidney failure septicaemia, lung failure and other complications in a small child. It was decided then that they needed to transfer her to the specialist paediatric intensive care unit at stoke university hospital which was 30 miles away.
The doctors couldn't get a drain into her lungs and therefore a very young and dedicated nurse had to “bag” Jennifer all the way in the ambulance. This involves him pushing air into her lungs using a “bag”... complicated by the fact that she was so small , and her lungs were full of fluid and all of this done by hand just feeling the back pressure from her lungs.... too much and she would drown … too little and she would suffocate ALL IN THE BACK OF A SPEEDING AMBULANCE.
The dedication of this man was second to none. By the time she arrived at Stoke , she had blisters over 80 – 90% of her body and looked black and blue all over. REMEMBER this was just a few hours since the ambulance was called. By the time the doctors had attended to her she was receiving EIGHT different drugs fed by 8 machines into her poorly body. There were also 6 drips and one kidney dialysis machine.
She was suffering from heart, lung & kidney failure an her body was just shutting down. The doctors said that Jennifer was then receiving ALL the help that they could and there was literally nothing else the doctors could do and that she was the most poorly child in the UK. No other child was receiving as much treatment as Jennifer and there was nothing else they could do. Chris and Lucy were sat down and basically told to expect the worst. A post was put up on face-book asking for healing energies to be sent her way. Initially it was aimed at the Dagda (our pagan group) but soon spread through our friends lists to many friends.
