A toddler had to have part of his lung removed during a five-hour surgery after contracting invasive Strep A.
Reuben Damant, three, also needed a litre of fluid removed from his right lung. The toddler fell ill in November last year after suffering from a high temperature and severe stomach ache.
Reuben's parents, Charlton, 33, and Sam, 34, dialled 111 but when the boy began screaming in pain, he was rushed to Ispwich Hospital's A&E. While in the waiting room, he began hallucinating and speaking to hid older sister Isla, seven, who wasn't with the family at the time.
