- July 3, 2021, take their 3-month old son Mickey to Children’s Medical Center in Plano that evening after he grew unresponsive.
- The baby had rarely left Zahava’s arms.
- Initial diagnoses
- Brain bleed, plus fractured ribs, plus a retinal hemorrhage
- Within days
- Doctors walk-back the diagnosis of broken bones, saying the only injury was the brain bleed.
- Doctors thought the child was a victim of “shaken baby syndrome,”
- Mickey’s injuries classified as potentially stemming from abuse.
- All three children were taken from the parents and placed in the foster care system.
- Mickey is a twin
- They spent more of their lives outside their parents’ home than in it.
- They also have a three year old sister, who was removed.
- Family took their case to social media, raising about $272,000
- The Ederys hired four pediatric neurology experts to examine the medical evidence. |
- The doctors concluded that Mickey, a twin born prematurely, had slight head trauma from delivery that caused a fluid buildup inside his skull that ultimately caused the brain bleed.
This makes my blood boil.
Brain bleeds are common with premies.
