Mother's Carnival Cruise ends in dramatic medevac after son 'didn't seem ok'

A Massachusetts mother recalled the harrowing turn her family cruise took after her son experienced a life-threatening medical emergency 350 nautical miles from the nearest hospital onshore. 

The Carnival Cruise Lines' Venezia had set sail on April 26 from New York City for a 10-day cruise to the Bahamas and through the Caribbean. But several days into the trip, the ship's medics took X-rays and determined that 12-year-old Aiden had a perforated bowel that would require immediate surgery.
