Dont know if this in the right place if not please move it to the right one pls
My 13 year old nephew just had 2 weeks ago the flu he has no medical history just a plain healthy boy, last Wednesday(06-04) he started to act strange
dropping thing on the floor and fall over,his mom called a doctor(UK)checked him out and send him home with nothing more then paracetamol, last
Thursday it was getting worse could not walk properly so they took him to the emergency while he was there he was getting a attack and he his
breathing stopped so they put him on a respirator.Friday he could not do anything anymore, not move, even could not breath on his own ever since he is
on life support,yesterday they told his mom that he has transverse myelitis and that comes from what we thought was just the flu but in fact it is a
virus and his body started to attack his spinal cord,the prognoses does not seem good because everything happen so fast and they did research on this
disorder and if everything going so fast the chances that he recovers are minimum.
