THE TRUTH ABOUT: Boy 4 rushed to intensive care after catching chicken pox - Caught on Camera

A mum was told to prepare for the worst after her son was rushed into intensive care.

Brave Gerard Price, four, has spent the last three years battling cancer, but mum Danielle Riley received the "worst news" at the end of July when chicken pox led to her son being rushed into intensive care. Despite being told he may not pull through, the youngster is now back on a ward after over a week on a ventilator.
