KFOR News reports that several Oklahoma families have been hospitalized with E. coli infections after attending the same Oklahoma Youth Expo event at the State Fairgrounds. While some cases are minor, some are more severe, putting one 8-year-old in ICU.
One child, Connor Sneary, has developed hemolytic uremic syndrome and is on dialysis and has received several blood transfusions and is breathing with the help of a ventilator.
