Patient story: One brother helps another, Frank and Henry Cross
When her 10-month-old son Frank seemed lethargic and refused to nurse, Rachel Cross thought he might be coming down with a cold. Checking in with his pediatrician, she was advised to give it a day and see if he improved.
Normally a happy baby, by the next day Frank was having bouts of screaming and labored breathing. When his mom took the baby in for an office visit, the pediatrician suspected pneumonia, and advised taking Frank straight to the emergency department at Hasbro Children’s Hospital.
