Kia Gott, from Wyke in West Yorkshire, has had one arm amputated and is soon to have a leg removed after she was struck down with meningitis C septicaemia. The baby's parents, Vikki and Paul, took her to the GP four weeks ago with a temperature and vomiting but was to accident and emergency hours later. Mr Gott aunt, Donna, said Kia's mother has stayed at Leeds Infirmary during the baby's treatment and wants to warn other people to watch out for the symptoms. 

She told The Telegraph and Argus: 'They know she is in a bad way, but they can't grasp she can't hear or ee them. 'They believe she is responding to them and their voices and when Elsie sings her nursery rhymes.
'She is yawning, moving her head and her arm. The hospital has said it's the worst case of Meningitis C they have seen there in 25 years.' 

The vaccine for Meningitis C for 12-week old babies was discontinued by the NHS from July 1 2016.

This is a crying shame. The poor baby and parents. To lose limbs then sight and hearing with brain damage, the poor baby will have no type of life. I hope for the baby's sake she passes away. I say this not because she's a burden but because she will have no normal sense of life.
