Because Angilee was diagnosed with Group B streptococcus (GBS) while she was pregnant, she received antibiotics during labor in the hospital. Thinking her newborn son Benjamin was protected from the infection, Angilee took her baby home. Weeks later, Benjamin fell critically ill and succumbed to severe brain damage due to late onset GBS. Angilee now is speaking out about GBS awareness and testing, hoping that other families will not have to endure a similar tragedy: “I was never told of any signs or symptoms to look for in a baby with GBS, so I never noticed the smallest signs.”
