History

Davide, our “bichito de luz” (lighting bug), was born in the Hospital de Sant Pau in Barcelona on the 28th of January 2008 with forty weeks and two days of gestation, beautifull and full of life and his weight was 3.825 grs. On the 21^st of February, with 24 days of life, he flew into the sky. A little baby that in a short of time just filled our life with sweetness, goodness and tenderness…filled our house with life.

We have some doubts about the quality medical assistance that he received. As well his mother had to endure more than forty hours of contractions, they also used Thierry spatulas and gave her a wrong epidural: she could not get out of bed for 6 days, and the consequence of this was mixed breast feeding

Davide was admitted to the same hospital on the afternoon of Friday 15th February 2008. His first diagnosis was ‘bronquiolitis’ (bronchitis), the analyses and the cultures were always negative. On Monday morning he was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit and was already in a critical state, after a weekend spent in the pediatric department in a tiny little room shared with another baby with some other virus. On Wednesday morning they put him in an artificial respirator and then they switch it for another one with a larger frequency plus nitric gas. That afternoon they put him an hemodialysis.

With thousand of questions and with no answers we see how our baby in less then 6 days developed serious conditions and from a simple cough he died, inside one of the “best” public hospital in a “developed” country in the XXI sec.

Now we just feel empty and we can not fill this gap … we will have always in our mind and heart the intensive glance of Davide that was asking us for help…
