A boy who almost died from a ruptured appendix has said he met the dead sister he did not know existed.
The extraordinary claims by Colton Burpo, aged four, came after he was misdiagnosed with flu while his family, from Imperial, Nebraska, were on a trip to Colorado. By the time they returned home he was seriously ill and had to undergo emergency surgery twice.While he was in the operating theatre his parents, Todd and Sonya, prayed, believing they were going to lose their son. However, Colton soon recovered and then told his astonished parents that he had met the sister his mother had miscarried a year before his own birth.
What made this even more remarkable was his parents had never spoken to him about her.
