Almost that same exact thing happened to me when i was 11. The Dr's all said it was the flu, but I couldn't eat and my chest hurt so bad that i could barely breath. The old Dr's refused to send me anywhere, and immediately got their lawyers when my parents asked questions. The asshats also gave me milk of magnesia at 10pm because "I didn't eat anything for a few days." So that was a great night... My dad made the call to the other hospital and they arranged an ambulance. I spent a week at the first hospital, and after 3 hours at the new one, I was already under the knife. That was the first time I saw people at a hospital run because of what they were seeing on scans. The new Dr told my parents (after i was OK) that the only thing he could think about once he initially saw me was that he was "operating on a dead boy." Scary stuff. I can't remember exactly what I had, but it was different than what your child had. Very similar experiences though.
