Isolde Konstant (31) van Paternoster se lewe het in ‘n oogwink verander nadat haar vierjarige seun, Izaiah Konstant, skielik oorlede is. Die klein laggie en die energieke energie wat hy in die huis gestraal het, het tot ‘n stilte gekom, ‘n proses wat die jong ma steeds verwerk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Izaiah was Isolde se enigste kind en is op Maandag 9\u2009Februarie in die Vredenburg provinsiale hospitaal oorlede. Volgens Isolde was hy sy hele lewe ‘n gesonde kind. Hy het egter op Sondag 8 Februarie uit die bloute koorsig begin raak en begin opgooi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Isolde het aanvanklik gedink dit is bloot ‘n maagvirus, maar het gou besef dit is iets ernstiger. “Hy was heeltemal pap en ek het die ambulans gebel om hom hospitaal toe te neem. Die dokters het hom onmiddellik gehelp en vermoed dat hy dalk breinvliesontsteking het, maar dit is nie bevestig nie. Alles het net so vinnig gebeur, maar ek kan s\u00ea die dokters het hom probeer help en baie moeite gedoen.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leensie L\u00f6tter, ‘n woordvoerder vir die provinsiale departement van gesondheid, het bevestig dat die Vredenburg provinsiale hospitaal onlangs ‘n jong pasi\u00ebnt van Paternoster verloor het n\u00e1 simptome soortgelyk aan di\u00e9 van meningokokkale meningitis (breinvliesontsteking). “Die diagnose kon egter nog nie deur bloedtoetse bevestig word nie. Die nabye kontakte van die pasi\u00ebnt, asook personeel wat betrokke was, is opgespoor en die nodige voorkomingsmaatre\u00ebls is ingestel om moontlike verspreiding van die siekte te voorkom. Die Nasionale Instituut vir Oordraagbare Siektes is oor die geval ingelig aangesien meningokokkale meningitis ‘n aanmeldbare siekte is.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Isolde beskryf Izaiah as ‘n spontane kind vol lewe. Met haar familie as onder- steuningstelsel, vat sy dit dag vir dag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
L\u00f6tter voeg by dat meningokokkale meningitis ‘n uiters aansteeklike siekte is wat deur mikrodruppeltjies wat in die lug beland wanneer ‘n besmette persoon hoes, nies of praat, versprei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Dit is ‘n ernstige siekte en kan dodelik wees.”\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Enigiemand wat nabye kontak gehad het met iemand wat meningitis het, word beskou as ‘n kontak wat deur die gesondheidsowerhede ge\u00efdentifiseer en aangeteken word. Die gesondheidsowerhede sal verseker dat alle nabye kontakte die nodige behandeling ontvang om die verspreiding van die siekte te voorkom,” voeg L\u00f6tter by.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
