    My friends brother is real sick, he might die.
    Okay I feel really bad for my friend. His little brother which he loves a lot got really sick and they have taken him to the hospital almost 5 times in the past week. He won't eat, he keeps throwing up and all he does is sleep. No one knows what is wrong with him they have even taken him to different hospitals. I'm worried that kid is my buddy. If you're a doctor or have ANY idea. Please answer this!! :(

    Hun, first of all your post was IMPOSSIBLE to read, so I edited it so that it is readable and so that you might get some responses.

    Now, none of us here are doctors, I am a nursing student, and we have a few nurses who post from time to time, but there is little we can do to help.

    Without being able to do a physical exam, take necessary blood work, etc, it is impossible for us to tell you what is wrong with him.

    However, with that said, I doubt he is going to die. This could be a flu, food poisoning, any number of things. How old is he?

    I understand what it is to be sad. But there is nothing we can do, no way we can even guess what is going on with him.

    We would need a TON more info to even venture a guess, and that would strictly be a guess based on experience. We are not doctors, heck I'm not even a nurse yet.

    But without knowing more, there is little we can do to help other than keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.
