“Ilan was not sick in the winter, he was doing well,” recalls Sandra, a month after the dramatic death of her son. One Friday morning, suddenly, the vomiting begins. Nothing too alarming, the child is 23 months old and gastroenteritis is common during the season. But one element worries the young woman: her little one strangely no longer holds her head, which “tilts backwards”, her body softens.
