Misdiagnosis with Fatal Consequences
However, the assumption of a mere cold turned out to be a fatal mistake. Maisie was actually suffering from an infection with the Metapneumovirus (hMPV), a respiratory disease that can lead to serious complications in children. Initially, Maisie's condition appeared to be improving, but on Saturday there was a dramatic deterioration. She became listless, prompting her worried parents to take her back to the hospital. There, the severity of her situation was recognized, and Maisie was placed into an artificial coma. A subsequent CT scan revealed a severe stroke, necessitating emergency surgery. Despite the doctors' efforts and an initially successful operation, her condition continued to deteriorate, and on Tuesday, life-sustaining measures had to be discontinued.
The family is now facing the immeasurable pain of loss and the tormenting question of what could have happened if the doctors had recognized the true nature of Maisie's illness earlier. A relative has launched a GoFundMe campaign to support the parents during this difficult time, expressing his sorrow and regret over the lack of a happy ending in this tragic story in moving words. Maisie leaves behind not only grieving parents but also a community deeply touched by her fate.
