When your child is sick, you just want to fix it. Sometimes it's not that easy. When 3-year-old Claire woke up puking blood in the middle of the night her parents rushed her to the ER. What they thought was a GI bleed, turned out to be so much more. Claire was diagnosed with Portal Vein Thrombosis, a vascular disease of the liver that occurs when there's a blood clot in the hepatic portal vein. Luckily, Nationwide Children's Hospital has the programs and the expertise to treat the condition through surgery. Learn more about Claire's journey to best outcomes.
