A GRIEVING mum has shared her heartbreak after losing her "perfect" toddler just days after a routine operation to have her tonsils out. Jessica Yugovich is now desperately waiting for answers over what ultimately led to three-year-old Aliyah’s untimely death. Aliyah Yugovich underwent a tonsillectomy at St John of God, a Catholic Hospital in Australia , on June 28 and was discharged the following day, according to 7NEWS .
Just three days later, on July 1, the three-year-old landed back in hospital with flu-like symptoms . Doctors at Perth Children’s Hospital (PCH) diagnosed her with Influenza A and discharged her on July 3. The next morning her parents were forced to call an ambulance when Aliyah started coughing and vomiting up blood.
Paramedics rushed to perform CPR at the scene before she was rushed back to PCH and placed in a coma and put on life support. Tragically, brain scans and an EEG showed there was no brain activity and Aliyah's parents were tragically left to switch off her life support. She died on July 7.
Aliyah’s mother, Jessica, described her daughter as “too perfect for this world” in an emotional post on Facebook. “Life will never be the same without you,” she wrote. “You are the most beautiful girl to ever step foot on this earth.
"None of this is fair, it was never meant to be (this) way, but I hope you know how proud we are of you. “You fought until the very end, but it’s time to let you rest. We love you to the moon and back, always.
