One day, she came home from work, and when she tried to kiss her child, she noticed that he had a fever. Immediately she assumed that it was just a common cold, and she decided to rub some Vick VapoRub on her baby’s chest, back and under his nose. She did this in order to help him breathe easier. After that, she tucked him up and laid down next to the baby. She fell asleep next to her baby almost immediately because she was very tired. When she woke up, she took her baby to the hospital immediately, but sadly, it was all for nothing, her baby was dead for hours.
