Bathany Taylor and her husband Kendall welcomed a baby to their family in January.
Little Jane was born healthy without complications. Like all new parents, Bethany and Kendall were very excited when they finally brought their newborn baby home from the hospital. A new life was about to begin, and the two were overjoyed.
But 5 days after the baby was born, something happened that changed everything. Little Jane became seriously ill and refused to eat. Bethany and Kendall thought that something was wrong, so they rushed her to the emergency room. But when the pediatrician examined the girl, they couldn’t find anything wrong with her.
When the pair returned home from the hospital, they came down with headaches and suddenly began to feel ill. They called grandma to come and help them – but she soon fell ill, too. Dad Kendall was suspicious about what was happening …
He did some online research to find out what might have happened. When learning the truth, he immediately took the young baby back to the hospital.
“I couldn’t believe this was happening to my new, brand new little baby and I was so worried about what was going to happen with her,” the mom told Faith Tap.
It turned out that little Jane and the whole family had been poisoned: not by an unknown bacteria, but something completely different.
That was due to a leaking gas heater in the apartment. The heater was defective and made the family suffer from carbon monoxide poisoning. Jane was immediately place in a hyperbaric chamber for further treatment.
Mom Bethany was able to stay with her baby in the chamber during the treatment. And the treatment was a success!
“She was just like a baby again. She cried, she responded to her mom. She was very hungry when she came out of the chamber,” Dr James Stewart tells Faith Tap.
Luckily everything ended well for little Jane and her family. Gas leaks can happen in all homes, especially if you have old heaters. That’s why it’s extremely important to install carbon monoxide detectors in your home!
