It was March 2010. Our son's 1st Birthday. He had a bug.
I called NHS Direct. His temperature was low, 34.6.
We went by ambulance. His blood sugar - 0.6. I prayed for the whole journey; felt so helpless and afraid.
At A+E we were met by a team. I asked if his brain would be damaged...'we need to concentrate on his vital signs first'...
They did their selfless magic. He slowly recovered. We have our son.
I traced everyone. Bar the doctor. I think of him still- the awesome, incredible, valiant, unassuming stranger who saved my darling boy's life.
