failed and he could not breathe.

improve his boxing.

His mother took Evan to accident and emergency on the night before his GCSE exams,
because he was coughing and choking in his sleep.

His lungs were failing and he very quickly ended up on life-support in intensive care in
Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham.

Evan was getting worse. Even ventilation could not get enough oxygen into his body
and his life was in the balance.

membrane oxygenation) machine.

pumped the blood back into his body.

in the good Condition but we will try everything to make him better
