Lucas’ Story

Lucas was a normal vibrant kid.  There were no abnormal health issues at all, until he was 3. First incident was when he was 3 yrs old.  He had a really bad 24 hr stomach flu and by the time he stopped vomiting, he would scream in pain if we moved him.  It lasted for about a night and he slowly progressed to get better.  We thought it was strange but he was an emotional dramatic kid so we just figured he felt terrible.
