An 11-year-old Wisconsin boy is now regaining the strength to walk and talk again after a routine tonsillitis surgery was ‘botched,’ landing him in a coma, his family says.
Liam Klaver underwent surgery to remove his tonsils on March 17. But the routine procedure - that half a million people undergo each year - went awry, causing the child to slowly bleed and go into cardiac arrest. He’s now able to speak a few words and sit up after a grueling few weeks in the hospital, his family said.
