After a few days of arriving, Arthur started to develop symptoms such as diarrhoea, a fever and abdominal pain and they took him to hospital upon their return to the UK when he started to cough up blood.<\/p>\n
Doctors confirmed Arthur had contracted E. coli, which led to HUS and he was admitted to intensive care and placed on a ventilator.<\/p>\n
After three weeks in hospital, Arthur was discharged but still suffers from kidney issues and requires daily medication with the illness impacting his brain so severely that he has had to relearn to walk properly and has battled with slurred speech.<\/p>\n
Mum Sharon said: \u201cI\u2019ll never forget Arthur asking me if he was going to die and the image of seeing him lying in a hospital bed with tubes helping him breathe will stay with me forever.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s every mum\u2019s worst nightmare. He\u2019s still recovering, and the most frightening part is knowing these complications could stay with him for the rest of his life.\u201d<\/p>\n
TUI said it was not informed of the illness while the family were on holiday or following their return.<\/p>\n
The third child, Chloe Crook, also developed severe gastric symptoms including diarrhoea, vomiting, fever and fatigue on holiday.<\/p>\n
Chloe, from Sittingbourne, Kent, was taken to a hospital in Egypt on July 6, 2024 after her condition deteriorated.<\/p>\n
She temporarily lost her sight and her ability to speak. She also suffered seizures while being treated.<\/p>\n
Tests showed that her kidneys had started to fail while she was having emergency dialysis and she was diagnosed with HUS caused by E. coli infection.<\/p>\n
Chloe was later airlifted to a London hospital and placed in a coma for four days where she developed pneumonia and a blood clot in her neck and arm.<\/p>\n
She was discharged from hospital on July 31, and still has to attend follow\u2011up appointments with the hospital\u2019s nephrology team.<\/p>\n
The hotel and TUI were informed in the resort, and were able to support the family throughout the ordeal. The family was offered a full refund as a gesture of goodwill, which they declined.<\/p>\n
Jatinder Paul, the lawyer representing the three families, said: \u201cThe fact these incidents have occurred at the same Egyptian hotel is a major cause for concern.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile nothing can undo the ordeal these families have suffered, our focus is now on helping to provide them with the answers they deserve and either the specialist support they require to come to terms with their loss or the specialist rehabilitation two of these children now need.\u201d<\/p>\n
TUI commissioned an independent investigation at the Jaz Makadi Aquaviva hotel, including on-site assessments and hygiene and food safety testing, and did not identify E. coli.<\/p>\n
The holiday provider says reported illness levels at the hotel remain low, at approximately 0.3 per cent.<\/p>\n
The hotel is not subject to any health or safety restrictions and continues to operate with all relevant approvals in place.<\/p>\n
TUI encourages customers to report illness while on holiday wherever possible so appropriate support can be provided.<\/p>\n
They said in a statement: \u201cWe are deeply saddened by the passing of Ariella, and our thoughts remain with her parents and family at this incredibly difficult time.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a devastating loss, and we recognise the profound impact this tragedy has had on them.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are also very sorry to hear about the serious illnesses experienced by Arthur and Chloe, and the effect this has had on them and their families. We appreciate how frightening such experiences can be.<\/p>\n
\u201cReports of illness, particularly involving children, are taken extremely seriously. As soon as we were advised of the illness by Ariella\u2019s family on their return home, we took immediate action by instructing an independent health and safety investigation.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe continue to monitor any reports of illness in line with our routine process alongside the hotel, local authorities and the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and full cooperation is being given to all relevant investigations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
