The child had been experiencing intermittent abdominal pain and occasional nausea for the past two weeks, but medical attention was not sought. Earlier today, a large amount of blood was noted in the vomitus, prompting the parents to seek care. The child has no significant past medical history.

Temperature is 36.7°C (98.1°F), heart rate is 150/min, blood pressure is 70/40 mmHg, respiratory rate is 26/min, and oxygen saturation is 99% on room air. The child appears pale and lethargic.
