When
Benita Davies 16 year old son died, she had no idea that the rest of
her family was on borrowed time, too, due to a genetic condition.
When
the police arrived at the hospital where I worked as a nurse, I knew
something was wrong. But
nothing prepared me for the shocking news that my 16-year-old son Paul had
died suddenly.
As
they sat me down and started to explain what had happened, I listened in
complete disbelief. Paul had
been riding his bike to meet a friend when he collapsed. Passers-by tried to revive him, but it was too late. My son was already dead.
