A 16-YEAR-OLD girl who lost her unborn baby after a car crash then contracted the potentially-fatal MRSA bug while in hospital.
Stacey Ellington’s mum thought her daughter was going to die, and says the teenager has been ’scarred for life’.Rosie (45) has described events of the past weeks as a "nightmare" and "terrible".
After the crash on January 14, Stacey underwent a ten-and-a-half hour operation at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, King’s Lynn, before being transferred to Addenbrooke’s Hospital at Cambridge.
She was unconscious for a fortnight and may have caught antibiotic resistant MRSA in either hospital.
"I thought she was going to die," said Rosie, adding her daughter had been "scarred for life" physically and emotionally.
