On June 26, 2002 a St Louis couple brought their 6 month old son to SSM Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center with a fever and lethargy. He was discharged from the hospital later that day, but returned the next day with the problems worsening. He was pronounced dead six days later.

The parents sued the hospital for medical malpractice as it failed to diagnose and treat the child's infection. The suit was filed July 1, 2005. On August 1 of this year, the jury trial finally started. On August 17, the jury came back with a verdict awarding the family $6.08 million.
