Boy, 5, suddenly dies on holiday

Andre Daisy, 5, died unexpectedly after coming down with flu-like symptoms on the car ride home after a family holiday in Brisbane. Picture: GoFundMe.

A five-year-old Townsville boy who woke up with what appeared to be a harmless headache while on holiday has tragically died four days later in hospital. Andre Daisy, 5, died unexpectedly after coming down with flu-like symptoms on a family holiday with his mother Trudy Stanley-Thaiday, step-dad Jarick and his three sisters, in Brisbane on February 2. His mother said she thought her son had caught the flu when he developed a headache and vomited on the morning they were set to travel home. But Andre’s condition declined drastically in just a matter of hours and he began to have a seizure, forcing his family to pull over and call the paramedics in Gladstone at 2 pm. He was placed into an induced coma and flown to back to Brisbane for urgent medical treatment at the Queensland Children’s Hospital. Ms Napier said doctors suspect meningitis may have been the cause of the “significant swelling” they later found on Andre’s brain. “It was five times the size of what it was supposed to be,” she said. “They did a procedure to try and relieve some of the pressure to his brain on Saturday but it just got worse. He had no brain function. It was devastating.” She said their family was left with the heartbreaking decision of letting him go and the five-year-old passed away in hospital surrounded by family on Sunday, February 5.

In the small communities where I live and work in Victoria Australia it seems like every second person has cancer. I am in my 50s and before 2021 I knew one person personally who died of leukemia. Now I know two people with prostate cancer, three people with aggressive pancreatic cancer, someone with lung cancer and another with stomach cancer. I know of at least five other people through other people who are all dealing with crazy, sudden cancers. Some of them are fairly young still.
