Teenager found 'black and blue' in bed had to be rushed onto life support

A Cheshire teenager who was found 'black and blue' in bed and bleeding from the mouth had to be rushed onto life support. James Eaton suffered a violent seizure at home before mum Georgia found him 'unresponsive' in bed.

The teenager, now aged 14, had lost consciousness and had medics waiting for him at the Countess of Chester Hospital as he was getting out of the ambulance. Georgia, a 36-year-old retail worker, says her son was left 'fighting for his life'.

He was transferred to intensive care at Alder Hey Children's Hospital, the Liverpool Echo reports. But now, after months in hospital, the youngster has finally been able to go back home to be with his 11-year-old brother Alfie.

Recalling the horrific ordeal, Georgia said: "He was black and blue. His eyes were white, he had blood coming out of his mouth and his lips were blue. I called for an ambulance and when we arrived at the Countess of Chester Hospital a crash team was waiting outside.

"They did some tests and within half an hour, a doctor came to me and asked me to sit down. They said he had a collapsed lung, a major chest infection and sepsis.

"He had to go on life support. Knowing James was fighting for his life was the hardest thing to process." James was transferred to Alder Hey Children's Hospital and admitted to the intensive care unit where he stayed for the next four weeks.

Georgia said nobody could understand why he was so poorly and it was only due to his strength that he 'pulled through time and time again'. The teenager's heart even stopped at one point after he was moved to the high dependency unit.
