Jonathon William Calvin Young In memory of

He got sick Monday, July 1st, 2019 We had lunch like any other day he had his usual daily bowel movement, was vomiting, our family missed Canada Day Celebrations cause it’s not fair if Jonny couldn’t go. 

On Tuesday, July 2, 2019, Jonny was not himself and had a fever so I Amanda Nielsen took him to Trenton Memorial Hospital the doctor on that night gave him gravel they give for chemo patients and sent us home and told me he had the flu and if it doesn’t go away come back in a few days. In those few days, I kept him hydrated with petalite and fluids along with gravel Advil and Tylenol.

On Wednesday, July 3, 2019, Jonny was still sick not eating solids only liquids so we got him pedilight and lots of liquids to keep him hydrated also got him fever bears, still no bowel movement, I gave him Advil and Tylenol and children gravel. spiked a low fever but went away.

On Thursday, July 4, 2019, he was still not better I made him scrambled eggs and he tried it spit it out. Still no bowel movent. Still sick looking and not feeling well. No fever still continued the medication the same as the day before.

On Friday, July 5, 2019, woke up he was still sick, no bowel movement, no fever,  he got sick all over himself I noticed his one testicle was swollen the size of an egg and nothing changed all week he stayed the same, he didn't eat any solids for 5 days at this point only liquids so Took him back to Trenton Memorial Hospital, they told me they thought it was gastroenteritis and gave him Iv with fluids and more gravel and they told me to drive my son to Belleville General Hospital as he was being admitted there now as TMH was not equipped for my sons needs and they have pediatricians in Belleville, so at 1 am

On Saturday July 6, 2019 I drove him to the hospital, Jonny was so sick and I knew it wasn’t the flu because I have 5 other children at home Ayslynn Austin Jemma Jeremiah his twin Jax 2months plus myself and husband Jerry Young who never had any flu symptoms and trust me we would have all been sick. We where admitted to BGH early Saturday morning and waited in the er until a pediatrician came to get us the doctor told us she would run test and ultrasound on my son in the day time, they never gave him anything for pain or for the vomiting to help him as the gravel from TMH was gonna run out so I continued With his meds I was doing already at home to help him, we went for ultrasound no one came to update me or even talk to me, I told the nurse Amy that his testicle was worse in the early am, after the ultrasound I asked if she told the doctor about his testicle she said quote “oh I forgot I will let the doctor know right now I have been busy with another patient doing transfusions” then the female doctor sent us for an ultrasound on his testicles still not updating me. I told the nurse he was getting worse he needs help and no one has updated me so The doctor in training came in and explained that he thought it was the flu but worse it’s called gastroenteritis I said no it’s not I’m telling you he is way sick he’s holding his stomach screaming in pain lay on me rolling back and forth he hasn’t eaten any food for 6 days now. He brought the Doctor in our room and she said ur son only has the flu and his testicles are fine it’s just fluid in the sack I got upset at this point and I tried to convince her it wasn't the flu Or gastroenteritis I said if that's the case we all would be sick in our home we all have been taking turns comforting him since Monday and we all missed Canada celebrations because in our home if someone is sick or ill we don’t attend special occasions as it’s not fair. The doctor said quote “it’s just the flu and his testicles are fine n never got into depth about anything to reassure me that he was fine. The Doctor and I got into an arrangement about how my son did or didn’t have the flu she told me to stop being a google mom and if I didn’t stop she would call security. She laughed at me and said your son only has the flu never treated him with antibiotics or pain medication she did give him gravel. I told her I’d stay in my son's room until her shift was done she then said in the doctor on call all night she was quite inconsiderate and rude to me. I called my husband and explained to him what was going on and he told me to get rude back with them I explained I already have and I just held my poor son in pain as he got worse, I asked that my husband send my older son Austin to come to help me with his brother as they were super close and would make Jonny happy also I need a change of clothes and a few items. I monitor my son's temperature and medications myself. The day nurse only did his vitals when she started her shift and the end of her shift left us in the room in wonder all day. So we waited out the night me and my 2 sons until the next Doctor came on shift. Overnight the nurse listened to me and help to make Jonny comfortable but still no pain meds.

On Sunday, July 7, 2019 morning I woke up with his belly super swollen and his testicle was worse, he was puking even worse all night he had brown strings with light green vomit I told the same day nurse from the day before, she went n told the new doctor and she orders him for ex-ray on his abdominal area, the doctor updated me right after the ex-ray which showed he had air in his bowel or stomach from puking so much do to the previous doctor not doing her job. The doctor explained that he needs emergency surgery and would need to go to Kingston they had already called dr windfell in Kingston she said to send him an ambulance to her, at this point Jonny was in so much pain and they had to do blood work I assisted them with and when they were doing blood he pucked  a lot of brown stuff. I called my husband to come quickly as he was being rushed to Kingston and I wanted him to ride in the ambulance with our son so he had someone with him, they told me they are going to give him morphine asking me over and over how much he weighed if it was 35kilograms or 35pounds I told them maybe u should weigh him they got the scale and got my son on the scale and it was 35 pounds I was like why u need to weigh him again the nurse said I just wanted to make sure they gave him gravel and prepare him for transfer. The paramedics came and switched equipment and a nurse came for the ride. Before we left the gave my son another dose of morphine and antibiotics, and continue to weigh my son. They then rushed him to Kingston with my husband sitting in the front seat, my husband told me that they turned the lights on just outside Kingston and proceeded to do 200kms an hr to rush him to KGH, got him up to the peds floor in Kingston. when my son Austin and I arrived my husband told me the 10th floor. We went up to the 10th floor and went into the room full of doctors nurses and people in training the surgeon Dr windfell explained to me his procedure, he has gone for surgery to fix the whole every was fine but then his heart stopped and they brought him back he's too weak to take off life support so they sending him to Toronto sick kids on Sunday, July 7, 2019.

On Monday, July 8th his heart stopped again n they told me he was dead. But he wasn't he was just really weak and has septic shock ontop of sepsis. So poison to his blood all cuz no one would put him on an antibiotic @ TMH and BGH or send him for proper tests right away.

On Tuesday, July 9, 2016, he had a rest day n his stats were good even turn the oxygen down on his ventilator, he was stable. his legs and hands weren't as purple. He got a fever. The nurse and I worked together to bring his fever down.

On Wednesday, July 10, 2019, We found out he had ecoli and he had a muscle genetic disorder and then one medication he was on was saving his life but killing him at the same time and causing his leg to go purple if he survived he would have no leg still, possibly be on life support. He was still fighting.

On Thursday, July 11, 2019, He was stable all day, the doctor wanted to try to wake him I suggested we wait as I had my older children there and didn't want something to go the wrong in front of them she agreed.

On Friday, July 12, 2019, I got a phone call to come to the hospital as his stats weren’t good and his heart rate was low dropped to 50, when i arrived his states were the best I saw them all week and the doctors at sick kids wanted to try to wake him to see if he still had brain activity when they did there tests he didn’t respond they asked that I send him for a ct scan. I agreed as his body wasn’t doing very well and was starting to get worse. I made sure Jonny made it to the ct scan and back okay and now code. I went for a shower and waited for the results. My husband and found out he had no brain activity and we then had to decide if we should remove his life support. We felt it was unfair and cruel to our son to live like this. Our Jonny was gone and would have to live on life support for the rest of his life. It was the worst decision I had even made in my life. I told the doctor that I needed a couple of days if I decided yes to remove the life support so my children would be prepared for the worse.

On Saturday, July 13, 2019, he stayed stable all-day 

On Sunday, July 14, 2019, we were called into the hospital at our son's heart rate and blood pressure where low they asked that I brought Jonny siblings in to say their goodbye we went in right away and my kids all said the goodbyes, showed him love and comfort.

On July 15, 2019, my son passed away. It’s not fair he was a healthy go lucky 3 years 1 month his death could have been prevented if certain doctors would have done their job right and not ignore me and my child.

I don’t have life insurance or savings and have to plan a funeral for our son I need the help. I’m not the type of person to ask if I don’t it. I want to fight for his justice so no other family has to feel this pain my family feels. So I need the help financial to retain a lawyer and to give my son the best funeral he deserves it.
