On Monday night, Jema woke up feeling excruciating pain and was rushed to the hospital. Upon admission, she complains of persistent pain behind her umbilicus. She also stated feeling nauseous and started to vomit. Her mother is restless and explains to the nurse that her daughter has no problems, and she is healthy.
