Parents so distraught by baby son's sudden and unexplained death that they still have his high chair at dinner table seven months on

A Canadian family is mourning the loss of their 11-month-old son after he died suddenly, as they blame the medical system for failing to accurately care for their child. Salahaddin Abrar died on April 19 while waiting for a liver transplant after doctors determined he had acute liver failure, his family said. His parents still keep his high chair at the dinner table as they struggle to move on from the tragedy. However, his father, Abrar Ahmed, and his wife have been left to wonder if Fraser Health failed to properly investigate their son's sudden illness. Salahaddin was rushed to Surrey Memorial Hospital, which is owned by Fraser, on April 17 after he started vomiting and had white, chalky stools in the middle of the night. The family had given the boy electrolytes before ultimately deciding to go to the hospital, they revealed on their website ABirdInHeaven.com. The family say they were discharged to go home with oral electrolytes and anti-nausea medication at around 5am, but allege the child's blood pressure or sugar levels were not checked. 'Our concerns were not taken seriously,' the father wrote. In response to the allegations, Fraser Health told Daily Mail it wished to express condolences to the family but could not share details about the care the child received due to patient confidentiality.Six hours after the family's initial visit, Salahaddin was brought back to the same hospital as he became unresponsive. Salahaddin Abrar, 11 months, died on April 19 while waiting for a liver transplant after doctors determined he had acute liver failure, his family said His parents still keep his high chair at the dinner table as they struggle to move on from the tragedy'They saw that his blood sugar was at a critical level... it was so bad that they couldn't even get fluids through his veins,' the father told CBC. 'So they had to drill a hole in his leg and give the fluids via the bone.' For 10 hours, the boy remained unresponsive. The father said: 'It defies common sense when somebody's been asleep for 10 hours, and it's the middle of the day, and it's a baby.'They need food, they need other things, and they don't sleep like that. And that's just common sense, right? But our concerns were basically not heard.' Doctors allegedly told the family there was nothing seriously wrong and that the boy would simply wake up, the father said on his website. But the boy's condition continued to decline each hour, the father said. But he claimed the healthcare system did not run any more tests and 'repeatedly told [them] he would just wake up soon.' 'He just lay in the ER bed for close to 10 hours without testing or treatment,' the father wrote. At shift change, a different nurse took over Salahaddin's care. The nurse helped push physicians to re-assess the infant. This would prompt the family to be transferred to BC Children's Hospital for critical care, and the child had to be intubated, the family said. Salahaddin was rushed to Surrey Memorial Hospital on April 17 after he started vomiting and had white, chalky stools in the middle of the night, the family said. He was sent home with oral electrolytes, the family said Hours later, they returned to Surrey Memorial Hospital as the boy became unresponsive. He would stay that way for 10 hours before a new nurse encouraged doctors to re-assess himAround 5am on April 18, BC Children's Hospital told the parents their son's liver had failed and he would need a transplant, the family said. The child was given a 50 percent chance at survival, CTV News reported. This prompted them to be airlifted to Stollery Children's Hospital in Edmonton for a transplant assessment, as BC Children's could not operate on a child that small, the outlet reported. There is no suggestion of wrongdoing at BC Children's Hospital or Stollery Children's Hospital. The Daily Mail has approached both hospitals for comment.The boy's condition continued to deteriorate, and hours later, Salahaddin died. The family said he died from acute liver failure. In July, Ahmed filed a complaint with the Patient Care Quality Officer at Fraser Health about his son's death. He told CTV News that the healthcare organization had originally agreed to an in-person meeting, but has since said it will provide answers in writing. Despite remaining in correspondence with the hospital, the Ahmeds say they have still not had their concerns fully addressed.'It will be four months since we filed the complaint on November 17,' the father told the Daily Mail. 'We have not been given the reason for the delay, they have just mentioned that they need more time to thoroughly answer our questions. Salahaddin was then transferred to a different hospital, where it was determined he needed a liver transplant. He was then transferred again to a hospital that had the ability to operate on that small of a child 'I basically get one email a month from them saying they need more time.'Fraser Health told the Daily Mail: 'The family has reached out to our Patient Care Quality Office and we are working closely with the care team to respond to the family’s concerns.'We recognize that some reviews can take longer than anyone would like, particularly in complex cases.'In all instances, the PCQO’s priority is to ensure that the response is thorough, accurate, and meaningful to patients and their families.' The healthcare company said the family may request an independent review by the Patient Care Quality Review Board if they feel their complaint has not been addressed. 'I plan to file a complaint with the review board if they don't respond by then,' Ahmed told the Daily Mail. BC Children's told the Daily Mail: 'We extend our deepest condolences to the family for their loss. Due to patient privacy, we cannot discuss individual details of a patient’s care journey. 'BC Children’s Hospital does not perform pediatric liver transplants. In general, while BC Children’s Hospital handles pre-transplant assessment, long-term post transplant care and transition support, children in BC who require liver transplants may be referred to one of three specialized pediatric centers outside the province who perform this type of surgery.' Salahaddin died before he could receive a transplant Ahmed remembers his son for his love of oranges and limes and the outdoors. 'He loved oranges: Loved to eat them when hungry, loved to squish them when bored, loved to throw them around when angry. He was also the only human I've ever known to love eating limes,' he wrote on his website. The father said his little boy 'loved watching the world and its people.' 'In his brief 11 months of life, he was loved abundantly by his parents and his extended family, always the center of attention and affection wherever he went.'He was in my arms as he took his first breath. He was in my arms when he took his last. Had the healthcare system not failed in his care, he would still be in my arms, never outgrowing them.' The family is hoping to memorialize him by living by the definition of his name – the goodness of faith. 'If his story and this campaign help even one family avoid what we went through, that goodness will live on,' Ahmed wrote on the website.
