Behind her poker face, 12-year-old Eva is in constant pain, with no cure in sight

Michael Brown has stopped making promises to his 12-year-old daughter, Eva, about finding a cure for the pain she has lived with for six years.

Eva matter-of-factly describes the chronic pain in her abdomen as, "Non-stop, 24/7." Sometimes better, sometimes worse, often exhausting, but always there.
