“Hey, Braeden, we need to go.”
Little did 12-year-old Braden understand that he was headed towards hospital admission.

Later, Braeden’s parents heard from the doctor’s office: take him to the Emergency Department now. That’s when Braeden’s dad came to pick him up from his friend’s house, where he’d been playing normally.
