My son, age 7, had sickness daily no temp just sickness. I was turned away three times from doctor’s saying it’s maybe norovirus. He continued to be sick, didn’t eat for ten days, no tests were done nothing.

Day 8 took him hospital, no drip, no tests just sent home. Still sick I took him back next day he was admitted because the sickness wasn’t stopping. All his vitals were fine then. Day three after admission he went down hill so quickly. His breathing was rapid, his oxygen low, his coughing was so bad all a sudden. They moved him to another hospital for kids where he went into a coma had sepsis, fluid on lung, and kidney failure. (Sepsis and Kidney Failure) He’s home now, full recovery, but no answers what so ever to what it was that caused it. Everyday I live in fear with bad anxiety of will it happen again I’m so glad he survived
