One day Gabe was perfectly healthy, and the next he was lying in a hospital bed in terrible pain. Gabe was suffering from a serious infection that developed after his appendix ruptured.

Gabe’s ruptured appendix triggered a multitude of health complications, including digestive paralysis and formation of a large abscess.
