A newborn baby boy named Cole nearly bled to death after a routine circumcision procedure at NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital in New York City, his parents revealed.
Tim and Gabrielle Groth welcomed Cole on March 31 with his heart condition treated by inserting a stent to ensure proper blood flow. After the surgery, Cole’s health took a turn for the worse after being circumcised on April 14.
Cole was found extremely pale, crying uncontrollably, and suffering from severe bleeding. His parents were left in shock as he nearly lost his life due to liver damage, kidney damage, brain damage, and his intestines turning black with feces in his abdomen that needed to be surgically removed.
The baby underwent emergency surgery and currently sits in the ICU, receiving treatment including transfusions and multiple surgeries. As of April 20, Cole remains critically ill, leaving his parents hoping for a miracle.
Tim Groth, who shares their story on GoFundMe, is urging other families to learn from their experience, warning that “there is no place for carelessness in medicine.” The family’s nightmare has become one of sharing their story and preventing similar tragedies.
