Clinical narrative: Dear Officer, My five months old son passed away on 10-28-2019 after vaccination done on 10-23-2019.     Here is the sequences of incidents:   Wednesday 10-23-2019 : We went to Clinic for vaccinations and regular check-ups. Dr. is primary pediatrician for my son. After the checkup, she told us that baby is good in growth. Vaccination done on 10-23-2019 at 11.30 AM EST. Attached vaccination card in this email. Please check.  On the same day around 3 pm, kid was sleeping and suddenly we heard some grunting sounds.  We checked baby and observed that baby eyes were rolling and unconscious and unable to breathe.  We tried to wake him up but he didn't wake up. Immediately, we understand the seriousness and called 911. Ambulance came in less than five minutes and they pump the air for breathing problem and they took the baby to hospital. They helped him breathing, given IV fluids, removed urine using catheter, and some first-aid process. Also taken chest x-ray and CT SCAN.  They said that X-ray and CT-scan were good. Baby opened eyes, crying a lot and my wife feed him ( breast feeding). On the same day around 7 PM, Pediatrician sent the baby to  hospital for observation.  Baby reached Hospital around 8 PM.   Sr.physician Told me that it may be Hypoxia/seizures due to low level Oxygen in blood and baby is in life & death situation.   At this time, the baby is almost normal, opening eyes and recognizing us and crying for pain ( May be pain in hand - intravenous  drip) They Started Brain ECG  and started giving treatment for seizures. Baby was not sleeping and crying the complete night.  (They started giving medicine for stopping seizures, antibiotics, sodium carbonate, liquids and IV fluids.)  Thursday 10-24-2019: My son was crying throughout night. He got a fever 102c and in mid night around 2.30 AM and 5.30 AM, he just moved his legs, hands, and head. Doctors said that this may be seizures as they are rhythmic movement. They took him to MRI scan and spinal tap( extract liquid from spinal) test. They said that MRI and spinal tap test looks good. Evening, Baby got the flu and fever went up to 104. Baby eyes were swollen and can't open.  Baby was crying through out night. They continue the seizure medicines and also given Tamiflu, tylenol, antibiotics etc.  Friday 10-25-2019: They said the baby had a series of seizures on Thursday night and not stopping. They are using Keppra along with some other medicine for seizures. Also Tamiflu, antibiotics, sodium bicarbonate , and tylenol gave him. He went to deep sleep due to high Seizures medicine dose. Doctors put the baby on ventilator. Also, inserted pipe to stomach through the nose for feeding. No movement.. no crying...  Saturday 10-26-2019: Doctors told us that seizures controlled a little bit but the brain is generating abnormal waves.  Now they reduced seizures dose. But again seizures come back. Continued same medicine till evening. Doctors told us that baby is in very critical condition.  Sunday 10-27-2019: They did MRI again and say that brain damaged and can't irreversible. Now, they have given (pentabola-  something, not sure), to put him on comma and trying to save my baby. Doctors stitched(for intravenous  drip) on his groin and wrist.  They used catheter to remove urine from bladder. And now they say it's a five percent chance of living and if he lives, he will have different health issues in the future. At 9.30 Pm, nurses and doctors treating my son continuously till 12.30 AM ( Monday)  Monday 10-28-2019: 12.30 AM :Doctor told us that brain dead and kidneys also failed, heart also will stop in a couple of hours.  They stopped treatment. We were in deep sad and crying. Baby's heart beat is reducing slowly. Around 11.40 AM, heart beating also stopped.  My son had very painful, dreadful, unbearable treatment but he is not alive. We are crying from the incident (10-23-2019).  we had very terrible days and sleepless crying nights.   Before Incident: Baby was born. He was a full term 40-week baby and no health issues.  First Vaccination on 07-05-2019. (Baby cried a lot about 20 to 30 mints. After that, the baby was normal.
