Dominic Moohan was rushed to intensive care just hours after his birth after hospital staff realised he had been born with several illnesses.
A 'terrified' Scots mum says she wasn't sure her baby would make it out of hospital after he was born with sepsis.
Erin had struggled through labour for 15 hours and was heavily sedated by the time her baby was born, so Konar went with his newborn son to NICU, while Erin recovered. Dominic was quickly given antibiotics and had a feeding tube inserted as he fought for his life. The hours old baby was placed on two seperate breathing equipments and he had to undergo a lumbar puncture because of the Strep B.
"But it was still really distressing and we just felt so helpless. It was a serious situation on those first few days and all you could do was place his life in the hands of the medics and hope for the best. "
