A Boston mother, Erin Jean, shares her heartbreak after losing her two-month-old son, Felix, to epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a rare genetic condition causing painful skin blisters and peeling. Despite efforts to manage his condition, Felix's parents decided on palliative care due to his deteriorating quality of life. Felix passed away at home, surrounded by family. Erin and her husband, Travis, are now focused on keeping Felix's memory alive for their other children and credit non-profit Debra and Mass General medics for their support.

"Preventable Tragedy: The Importance of Early Screening for Infant Health"

A UK woman is advocating for routine STI screenings at the beginning of pregnancies after her baby girl died due to complications from chlamydia and gonorrhea that developed into pelvic inflammatory disease. Despite experiencing symptoms, she was not screened until it was too late, and her daughter was born prematurely at 18 weeks and three days, passing away 30 minutes later. The grieving mother's petition aims to change healthcare guidelines to include comprehensive STI screenings for all pregnant women, as current practices only recommend testing for certain infections, potentially leaving many at risk.
