A three-year-old girl died from sepsis a day after being discharged from hospital with a suspected stomach bug.
Harper Aitken developed a rash along with a temperature and sore throat before being taken to hospital.
After a few hours in A&E, Harper's condition seemed to improve and doctors suspected she had an upset stomach.
The following day at home, mum Lori noticed her daughter's lips were turning blue and was reportedly instructed by Forth Valley Royal Hospital in Falkirk to take her to see the GP.
Harper then collapsed in the surgery waiting room and died two hours later after being taken back to hospital by ambulance in March this year.
Lori, 34, said: "She woke up with a fever one morning and was dead by teatime the next day.
"She took her oxygen mask off and the last thing she said to me was, 'Mummy, I don't like this. I want to go home'."
Describing the first symptoms Harper was unwell, Lori said she noticed a rash on her stomach, reports the Mail .
Fearing it may have been meningitis , Lori called an ambulance before it later appeared to fade away.
Little Harper was also suffering from diarrhoea, leading medics at the hospital to suspect she might have a stomach bug.
But, when Harper deteriorated again at home, Lori said she was told not to bring her back to hospital - but instead take her to the GP first.
Lori said she struggled to comprehend how rapidly her daughter declined at the GP surgery, saying she "could not believe this was happening in front of me".
The heartbroken mum said she arrived at the GP at 3:45pm and by 6:45 her daughter had been pronounced dead.
Lori added: "I left with a lock of her hair and never saw her again."
She is now speaking out about the dangers of sepsis , adding: "I don't want this to happen to anyone else's child."
A statement from Forth Valley Royal Hospital said: "We are carrying out a full internal review into the care and treatment provided to this little girl and will share any learning with local staff and the child's family.
"NHS Forth Valley supports the Scottish Patient Safety Programme which aims to improve the identification and treatment of sepsis amongst a wide range of healthcare professionals."
