“He was in so much pain, he just didn’t want me to touch him, said Mark Collie, father of 8-year-old Blake Collie.
Blake’s mother, Caroline said, “He starts crying, he’s getting very agitated, he couldn’t lay back.”
Mark and Caroline Collie’s 8-year-old son Blake had been playing in the neighborhood pool just a few minutes when he was struck by a crippling headache.
Mark said, “When he started throwing up, that’s when I said we’re going to the ER.”
By the time they arrived at the closest emergency room in Washington, North Carolina, Blake was unresponsive.
