Victorian Mum Urges Parents to 'Trust' Their Instincts After Her Son Nearly Dies from Brain Haemorrhage

 A Victorian mother is sharing her harrowing experience after her son narrowly escaped death due to a sudden brain haemorrhage, urging parents everywhere to trust their instincts when it comes to their children's health. What began as a seemingly typical day quickly turned into a nightmare for the family when her young son suddenly collapsed and was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.

The mother, whose quick thinking may have saved her son's life, is now on a mission to raise awareness about the importance of acting on parental intuition, especially when it comes to symptoms that could indicate a serious medical issue.

"I knew something wasn’t right," she said. "He wasn’t himself that day, and though the symptoms were subtle, I couldn’t shake the feeling that we needed to get help. If I hadn’t followed my gut, things could have turned out very differently."

Her son was diagnosed with a brain haemorrhage, a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical intervention. Doctors told the family that if they had delayed seeking help, the outcome could have been tragic. Thanks to his mother’s quick action, the boy underwent emergency surgery and is now on the road to recovery.

Now, the Victorian mum wants to ensure other parents are aware of the warning signs that may indicate something is seriously wrong. She emphasizes that brain haemorrhages, though rare, can happen to anyone — even healthy, active children.

“Sometimes, it’s not about obvious symptoms like a fever or pain,” she explained. “It could be something as simple as your child not acting like themselves. Trust your instincts as a parent. If something feels off, don’t hesitate to get it checked out.”

Medical experts agree with her message, noting that parents are often the first to notice when something is wrong with their child. While not all unusual behavior or subtle changes in a child's health are emergencies, parents are encouraged to seek medical advice if they feel concerned.

The mother’s story is a powerful reminder of the importance of acting quickly in the face of potential health emergencies. While her son’s road to recovery is ongoing, she is grateful for the second chance at life and hopes her message will resonate with other families.

“It’s better to be safe than sorry,” she said. “Trust yourself and don’t be afraid to act.
