A baby who accidentally sustained a gash in his head during a surgical procedure undertaken on his 16-year-old mother on March 7, last, will have to remain in hospital until the cut heals. His mother, Naomi Gonsalves, will also have to remain in Hospital, at Suddie although she has been discharged.
Gonsalves, who would be celebrating her 17th birthday on Monday, related that on March 3, she was admitted as a patient at the Suddie Public Hospital. She added that four days later she started to experience severe headaches and after notifying a Nurse, she was given a table. “I never troubled with high pressure before.”
The teenage mother further explained that she is still unsure what she did with the tablet since she was feeling unwell. She said that the Nurse told her to relax. She said she later went into a fit which prompted the Nurse to alert the doctors and she was hurriedly rushed to the emergency theatre where they proceeded to operate on her.
Gonsalves said that when she awoke she discovered she had a tiny baby boy who was born prematurely. When questioned, Doctors told her that the baby was 33 weeks old. Gonsalves however said she noticed a gash in her baby’s head which carried six stitches.
She said from what she had gathered she understood that the doctors were attempting to save her life, while performing a C- section on her. She was informed that the gash in her son’s head was an accident while doctors were undertaking that procedure.
The teenager resides at Henrietta Village, Essequibo Coast and this is her first child. Family members are questioning the circumstances surrounding the mishap which resulted in the cut to the baby’s head.
