question: my son had cystic fibrosis, he had meconium ileus at birth and had complications post surgery with blockages and spent 2 months in nicu. He passed away july 3 2014, he just turned 2 years old may 30th 2014 , he had developed a routine blockage (happened about 5 times since leaving nicu) and everytime we would bring him directly to ER they would ask us only to bring him if he shows signs of dehydration, fever, or any signs of abnormality with his usual self, or if symptoms do not get better after 48 hours (throwing up, no stools, etc.) now on july 2nd he started his throwing up so we knew he had gotten a blockage, we followed orders and started miralax treatment right away, throughtout night he continued throwing up (same as other times, and usually passes big stool on 2nd day and is back to normal) we dont know what happened on july 3rd but at around 12pm he started to act funny and talk funny, as if he wasnt getting enough oxygen to his brain, his pupils got a little big, abdomen seemed a bit larger then it was few minutes before, and within a minute or so, he just stopped......... ambulance came and said he was already passed etc etc. they wrote on his death certificate intestinal blockage, cystic fibrosis and aspiration, am i right to believe that what happened to him mustve been septic shock? there was no autopsy performed, but i think maybe his intestine ruptured throughtout the night? thank you for any answers, it was literally 24 hours of a blockage.
