Grand County Search and Rescue helped a 10-year-old boy camping at Gourd Lake who was suffering from a medical emergency over the weekend.
On late Sunday afternoon, the boy was experiencing severe abdominal pain and nausea while camping at Gourd Lake, which is situated at 10,700 feet elevation and accessed only by backcountry travel, according to a news release from Grand County Search and Rescue.
Nineteen volunteers from the organization set out to reach the boy on foot. Because of the patient’s age, location and potential for a serious medical condition, the volunteers requested a Flight for Life helicopter, but severe thunderstorms in the area prevented the helicopter from responding, the news release said.
