MOTHER OF THE YEAR: Woman accused of injecting feces into IV bag of son with cancer. “Doctors said the child’s health improved once Alberts was removed from the hospital room. But, they said the biggest concern now is they may have missed their best window to keep the boy’s leukemia in remission. It was months of severe hospitalization, some of which were surgeries, to keep the boy alive. Doctors said the boy could have died from any of the episodes of septic shock caused from the fecal matter in his blood, and they said he still may die from his leukemia due to the prolonged delay in therapy.”
