A boy's life was saved by his mum's quick thinking after tangled blood vessels in his brain exploded. Josh Pollard, aged nine, has been left paralysed by the ordeal, which saw him have four seizures in 15 minutes out of the blue.
He had been out pumpkin picking with his family in October 2021 when he suddenly fell ill. Mum Jayne called for an ambulance and Josh was taken to the Royal Hospital for Children and Young People in Edinburgh, Scotland.
There, doctors found Josh had an arteriovenous malformation in his brain which had ruptured causing a blood clot to form, reports the Daily Record. Josh, North Berwick, East Lothian, was rushed for emergency surgery as Jayne and dad Ben anxiously waited for news on his condition.
