The result comes after the then four-month-old Koby Wiles was left clinging to life in a Sydney hospital after family claimed he was wrongly diagnosed with constipation.
Murrumbidgee Local Health District medical service director Dr Pankaj Banga said he was unable to reveal the investigation findings.
“Staff of WWRRH will communicate the findings of internal and external clinical reviews directly to Koby’s family as a time suitable to them following his recovery,” Dr Banga said.
“A nurse manager has kept in close contact with Koby’s mother to check on his progress.”
The Daily Advertiser checked in with mother Rosie Pollard in April, who said Koby “was still doing alright”, but she could not be reached for comment on Monday.
Koby was admitted to the Wagga hospital on March 12 after his family watched on in horror as he suffered from horrific seizures.
Ms Pollard claimed she was offered a pain killer and advised to take Koby home before “trusting her gut” and pleading for a second opinion from the attending nurse.
Koby was then taken for an MRI where it was discovered he was suffering from severe bleeding on the brain, before being transferred to Sydney for an operation, his life hanging in the balance.
After two operations, four blood transfusions and a seven day induced coma, Koby awoke from his sleep.
Soon after it was revealed he suffered from a genetic disorder in which blood fails to clot normally, with Ms Pollard calling for the suspension of the involved Wagga doctor.
