Shani was 26 days old when she died.

She was born after a lengthy, anterior presentation, labor. Attacked by the mother and he had a swollen tongue and abscessed jaw. Attempts was made to bottle feed him, but formula intolerance (complicated by GI mucosa that was compromised by hypoxia during delivery) finally resulted in his death.
