14-year-old Alec Hebblethwaite was left fighting for his life after his esophagus was torn by a ham and cheese sandwich. Alec spent 106 days in the hospital and was diagnosed with the chronic immune system disease eosinophilic esophagitis. A month before the kid ate a cracker and coughed up blood so after taking him to the doctors appointment they decided to switch him to soft food. A month later, he went to Walmart between football games and got the ham sandwich as a snack. He was rushed to the hospital with chest pains and doctors discovered his esophagus was ripped but when they tried to fix it with surgery they found that the wound had become infected. Doctors said they have never seen this in such a young kid before. Alec still has hospital visits every few weeks to have a balloon in his esophagus to stretch it out.
