Chad (14 years old) was admitted to hospital with abdominal pain and it was found that he needed to have his appendix removed. When they operated on him they realised it had already ruptured and was gangrenous.

 After being discharged, two days later he started vomiting about every 30 minutes and eventually he was taken back to hospital. They thought he had an infection and he was readmitted again. He had another operation two or three days later to flush out any infection, and they inserted a drain into his stomach. He wasn't healing and got much worse so they put a pipe into his nose, which went down into his stomach and out the other nostril to try prevent the vomitting, but that didn't work and he deteriorated so badly that he could hardly move or speak.

After 2 CT scans and numerous ultrasounds, they weren't sure what was wrong, so they operated again two days later to see if there was a blockage. 

He continued to deteriorate, so he was moved to ICU where a drip was placed into his neck to feed him...
