Sunita has quit her job to be by her daughter's side during her recovery.
Attacked everything but her spiritĪfter 17 days in the intensive care unit, Nupur is still at SickKids spending hours on dialysis as her kidneys heal. "When a patient presents at one of our emergency departments, they are assessed and triaged based on their current medical needs," the statement said. In a statement provided to CBC Toronto, Trillium Health Partners said they would not comment on the case due to patient confidentiality. While Nupur's family is questioning why the infection wasn't discovered sooner, McGeer said the doctors could not have predicted Mate's condition would advance the way it did. Sunita said when her daughter woke up to her missing arm and leg, she asked, "How did this happen? I only had a cough." Nupur Mate was soon going to reach her brown belt in her beloved karate classes. The next revelation was that they had to amputate to stop it from spreading, and there was no saving the limbs Nupur had been complaining about: Physicians had to cut her left arm above the elbow and her right leg partially below the knee, her mom recalled. While on life support for more than a week, and 17 days spent in the ICU at SickKids, blood culture tests finally revealed the real diagnosis: Nupur had a bacterial infection caused by streptococcus A. Her body was pumped with antibiotics to stop the infection from attacking more of her insides, Sunita said. Nupur stabilized and was taken to SickKids. Sunita says 10 to 15 doctors took turns performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation on her daughter. "I heard a nurse say, 'She's dead,' then everyone, doctors and nurses, rushed over." Soon after arriving, Nupur's heart stopped. 'I heard a nurse say, 'She's dead.'" -Nupur Mate's mother, Sunita "She was so pale. It was the first time I felt I was losing my daughter," Sunita said. Nupur's blood pressure was plummeting in the ambulance back to Trillium, her mom said. I put socks on her, I was rubbing her hands. After one hour, she said she doesn't have any feeling - she was completely numb," Sunita recalled. By Friday, her hands and feet felt cold to the touch. It turned out a bacterial infection was attacking Nupur's body at a rapid pace.
(Submitted/Sunita Mate) Not flu, but a serious infection In a life-saving measure to stop the infection, her left arm and right leg were eventually amputated. "As far as I know, flu meant whole body pains, not in a particular part," she said. "Everything points to influenza B," Sunita recalled the doctor saying, but that diagnosis didn't sit right with her. This time, she had blood work and X-rays. The next morning, Nupur woke up wincing with severe pain in her left arm and right leg, so they again rushed her to the emergency room. Frustrated, Sunita and Nupur went home to rest instead. 21, they waited four hours to see a doctor, Sunita said, adding that nurses were dismissing her concerns that her daughter had something worse than the flu. Then, when the family went to Trillium on Feb. Initially, the family's doctor advised rest and Tylenol to keep Nupur's fever down. Sunita said her daughter rarely gets sick. This time was different.
WHICH CABIN FEVER MOVIE DID GIRL LOOSE HER ARM PLUS
But three days, plus the pain … you don't just say 'oh, it's flu,'" her mother Sunita told CBC Toronto. Her family is now questioning why Trillium Hospital doctors didn't pick up on the severity of Nupur's symptoms sooner. Nupur has since had two limbs amputated - her left arm and right leg - and is surviving on dialysis at the Hospital for Sick Children, following a diagnosis of a serious bacterial infection caused by streptococcus A. The third time Nupur's parents took her to the hospital, her heart stopped, and she had to be resuscitated. That hospital visit became the first of two times her parents were told their daughter had influenza and could recover at home. But when Nupur couldn't stop shivering, her family took her to the emergency room at nearby Trillium Hospital. The Mississauga girl had a 39 C fever and her symptoms seemed to be those of a common cold or influenza. On an otherwise routine Tuesday evening in February, 11-year-old Nupur Mate was complaining at home about a headache.
