Mia Glynn, a bright and bubbly eight-year-old girl, tragically lost her life to sepsis in December 2022. Her devastated parents, Katie and Soron, are now seeking answers about the events leading up to her passing. They have lovingly created a charitable organization called aiM in honor of their daughter, with a goal to raise awareness about sepsis and support other grieving families.
It all began when Mia's mother, Katie, noticed that her daughter was vomiting and complaining of a headache and sore throat. Concerned, she took her to the GP surgery where a nurse practitioner diagnosed Mia with a viral infection and advised Katie to give her fluids and paracetamol. However, when Mia's symptoms worsened and she returned to the surgery four hours later, the doctor prescribed antibiotics and instructed Katie to wait until bedtime before starting them.
Despite the medication, Mia's condition continued to deteriorate. She developed a raised heart rate, reduced urine output, and became drowsy. Her worried parents even asked if she could have the infection Group A Strep, which was prevalent at the time, but were told that the hospital was full. Tragically, Mia passed away just 15 hours after her initial visit to the GP.
Katie and Soron are now heartbroken and struggling to come to terms with their daughter's sudden and unexpected death. They describe Mia as a happy and loving girl who had so much life ahead of her. Her loss has left a huge void in their family, and they will never be the same without her.
In the wake of this devastating loss, Katie and Soron have launched a fundraising campaign in Mia's memory, raising over £40,000 for the UK Sepsis Trust and other charitable causes. They have also organized a successful family and music festival called aiM Festival, with plans to make it an annual event.
Soron, who is an engineering teacher, hopes to use this platform to raise awareness about sepsis and educate people about the signs and symptoms. He believes that if more people are aware of this dangerous condition, they can prevent other families from going through the same tragedy.
Mia's parents have also sought legal representation to investigate the care Mia received at the GP surgery. They feel that if the doctor had recognized the red flag symptoms of sepsis and acted quickly, their daughter may still be alive today.
The family's lawyer, Victoria Zinzan, emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and treatment in cases of sepsis. She hopes that Mia's story will raise awareness and help save lives in the future.
Mia's parents will never fully recover from the pain of losing their daughter, but they take comfort in knowing that she will always be remembered and honored through their efforts to raise awareness and support others. Their hope is that no other family will have to suffer the same heartache and grief that they have endured.
