A nine-year-old boy was rushed to hospital after he collapsed suddenly at school.
Alex Darracott went to school as normal one morning last week, but by lunchtime, his parents Cris and Melissa received a devastating phone call to say Alex had collapsed suddenly.
Alex was "in a really bad way" and was rushed to Whiston Hospital where he was treated for a viral infection. However, tests soon showed the schoolboy had suffered a suspected bleed on the brain and the next morning he was rushed to Alder Hey Children's Hospital.
