Mum 'torn apart' as newborn killed after being 'dragged out of bed' by nurse
Ellieana J. Peyton was born on March 4 and tragically died on March 31, leaving her parents heartbroken. Her mum has alleged the little girl was dragged out of bed by a nurse The mum of a newborn baby who was killed after a nurse allegedly dragged her out of bed said she feels "torn apart" after the tragedy. Little Ellieana J. Peyton was born at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, on March 4. She was placed in the intensive care unit because she had cardiomyopathy - a disease of the heart muscle that makes it harder for the heart to pump blood to the rest of the body. On March 12, the baby's mum, Mackenzie Marshall, said in a Facebook post that Ellieana had undergone heart surgery which went "amazing" as she said: "Her numbers looked great, everything went great. I'm so happy. Crying happy tears." But just under two weeks later, on March 25, the woman shared a further update on Facebook, saying her daughter had been injured following an accident at the hospital. She claimed: "The hospital nurse put the cords hooked to my daughter in her pocket and forgot she had the cords in her pocket and dragged my daughter out of bed when she went to go leave." In a later post, Mackenzie said Ellieana had been left with a fractured skull and bleeding in her head, the Express reports. The mum said: "She already had a 20 percent chance of life and this hospital wants to be so careless and be so dumb with a NEWBORN BABY." Sadly, the little girl died on March 31. Her mum said she felt "torn apart" by her child's death as she shared: "Words can't even express my emotions right now." Paying tribute to her "sweet baby", Mackenzie said Ellieana's smile would "light up the whole room." In another post, the heartbroken mum said: "I just wanna wake up from this nightmare. Ellie mommy misses you so much already, I just sat in your room and cried. "Your bed's empty, your car seat was empty on the way home. This isn't real. I just want you back. Mommy wants you back so bad. I miss everything about you." Ellieana's father Tyler said his daughter was "a gift from God" as he wrote on social media: "As a gift I will cherish you for life." A coroner's report obtained by McClatchy News stated the baby's injuries were caused by a fall from a crib. The baby's death was ruled as accidental, with the cause listed as "Congenital dilated cardiomyopathy complicated by blunt force head injuries", reports say. Ellieana's obituary reads: "Ellieana had the most contagious smile that would light up the room. She had the most beautiful brown eyes that you could stare into for hours. "She was always so alert, and she wanted to see her surroundings. With one laugh from her mommy or hearing her daddy's voice, she would look everywhere until she found them. "She didn't care for having her diaper changed, getting dressed, and when she was hungry, she would let you know! Her favourite place to be was in the loving arms of her mommy, daddy, and family." A spokesperson for Nationwide Children's Hospital told McClatchy News: "Due to patient privacy, we are unable to provide information about specific patients." The Mirror has contacted the hospital for comment.
