The little girl had a treatable bowel condition, found at post mortem
A coroner will deliver his conclusion next week after hearing evidence into the final days of life of a baby girl who was thought by medics to be suffering from a tummy bug. Gordon Clow, assistant coroner for Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire, will present his findings on Wednesday, July 6, to the family, their lawyers and other legal parties interested in the case.
Her parents, Sally Checkley and Kyle Moloney, of Eastwood, had sought advice from medics after Indie had woken up screaming, was sick, whinging, and had blood in two nappies, but it was suspected by doctors she saw that she had a tummy virus and was sent home.READ MORE: Hay fever sufferers feel 'cured' after taking £4 over the counter tablets
At the time he said his notes were that Indie was "well and alert", a happy child and she smiled. She was not clinically dehydrated, totally settled and fully pain-free throughout his consultation. He said he thought she had gastroenteritis. But the inquest heard Indie developed a relatively common condition called Intussusception, only found at post mortem - where parts of her colon had slid into each other. It is a treatable condition, if found, and uncommon for a baby to die from.
