A teenager said that she had a disease virus and that she had a brain abscess before killing her

A teenager telling his doctor that he had a disease virus actually had a brain abscess that was on the verge of killing her.

Health professionals first thought Thaila Elliott had a water virus, reports Wales Online.

She was sent home with antibiotics, but that night, the 14-year-old girl was taken to hospital by ambulance after her mother found her having a seizure.

A few days later, the surgeons told Thaila's family that they had no idea how she was still alive.

The teenager had had two epileptic seizures and had undergone two brain surgeries to relieve her brain of pressure caused by a huge brain abscess.

Aunt Ceri Elliott-Pitman said that Thaila's family knew that something was wrong at all when they found out they were having a fit in the bathroom.

"She was like a rag doll," said Ceri. Her husband had to hold her up and her eyes rolled in the back of her head.

The Welsh teenager was rushed to the hospital, where doctors first had trouble understanding what was wrong with her.

The alarm bells started ringing when a clear, foul-smelling liquid started to flow from Thaila's nose.

"A nurse came to watch her and she could feel him on the other side of the room," said Ceri.

"They took a look at his students and from then on, chaos reigned in the room.

"A crash team arrived, Thaila was unconscious at the time and she was put on a survival machine."

The badyzes revealed that the 14-year-old girl had a mbadive abscess putting pressure on her brain.

She was rushed by ambulance to the University Hospital of Wales. Her family accompanied her in her car while the medical staff was working to save Thaila's life.

"We did not know if she would still be alive at the end of the trip," said her aunt.

Thaila needed two emergency operations to drain the fluid from her brain.

"They think it could have been caused by an infection that started in his sinuses," said Ceri.

After her first surgery, Thaila's distraught family learned that the teenage girl's students were not reacting and that she may have brain death.

Families were then asked to say goodbye after Thaila's brain pressure increased dramatically.

An badysis revealed that the 14-year-old girl's brain was swollen and had only a few minutes left before her brainstem was affected.

The surgeons said that there was only the slightest chance of saving her by performing a second emergency procedure to remove some of her skull in order to relieve the pressure.

Thaila's mother, Lisa Elliott, said she was able to complete the procedure on time. After the surgery, Thaila's condition was somewhat stabilized and she was placed in a coma causing resuscitation.

"The doctors told us that they had never experienced a scenario similar to that of Thaila and that they did not know how she was still alive," Lisa said.

"The abscess, which was on his left frontal lobe, had killed the part of his brain that controlled the speech, the short-term memory loss and decision-making, but other than that, they did not have the same effect. had no idea how the damage could affect it in the long run. "

The doctors confirmed that Thaila had been hit twice.

She remains locked in a wheelchair and is profoundly deaf after her near death ordeal.

Aunt Ceri revealed that Thaila is now "in her long journey to regain her normal, cheeky and happy state".

"She had to learn to do everything again, to be able to keep her eyes open, to sit down, to use her arm to do everyday things, to talk, to eat, to eat, to read the lips – all that that we take for granted every day. "

A fundraising campaign has now been launched by the Thaila family to raise funds for private physiotherapy and to have a cochlear implant installed to help him hear.
