A mum-of-two has issued a stark warning to other parents after her 'dream' family turned into a 'nightmare'. Ashley Bain had been eagerly anticipating a trip to with her husband, two and in-laws. The family usually enjoys at least one holiday together each year, but this time she said things didn't go as planned.
"The holiday from hell. Let's get [into] it," she stated in a video. "Food poisoning nearly killed my son on holiday.
" Ashley explained that the first day at the unnamed hotel was spent getting acquainted with the surroundings and enjoying the pool. "The kids had a great day," she recalled. However, the second day took a turn for the worse after a buffet breakfast at the hotel.
After spending the afternoon away from the hotel with her husband Jamie, they returned to find the rest of the family ill. "It started with Jamie's mum [getting] food poisoning, then Jamie's dad," she revealed. Soon, the entire family was sick.
"I can't even explain to you how poorly my children were," she said, adding that by the third day, her son River couldn't even keep water down. She described him as "lethargic and unresponsive", which led them to seek help from the hotel's on-site nurse, who subsequently called a doctor. After examining the child, the doctor stated that immediate treatment was necessary.
Ashley revealed her son was put on an IV drip due to severe dehydration and an ensuing infection from his illness. She found it particularly difficult to see her autistic son, who isn't.
