Evan Dawson

Evan Dawson is a kid who went on the run with his father.

History
A kid calling himself Porter came in to see Cooper for an exam. He had diabetes, so Cooper took his blood sugar level and it was 210. He said that his insulin pump got clogged sometimes, but his dad fixed it. They'd been on the road for the last five weeks. Cooper checked out his insulin pump and found that it was infected. Cooper asked him about keeping it clean, but he said they were sleeping in the car, which made it difficult to keep the area clean.

Cooper gave him a prescription for antibiotics, but also told his father he'd need a new insulin pump. Cooper said that that would take a few days, but Frank said that he needed to get to Oregon in order to keep a job he'd gotten. Cooper talked to him and said that he needed to wait for his kid's well being. Cooper ran the serial number on Porter's pump and found that it was registered to Evan Dawson. When Cooper called the doctor who placed it, he found out that Evan had been kidnapped. Cooper called Frank and Porter back to the practice, saying he needed to run a few more tests. Once alone with Porter, Cooper asked him about it. Evan then confessed that he and his father had run away because his mom's boyfriend, who was living with her, had started to hit him and his father was the only person who believed him. Evan then had a seizure due to low blood sugar. He was rushed to the hospital and a new pump was placed. However, the hospital also ran the number on his old pump and found that he had been kidnapped and called the police. However, Cooper gave them a heads up and sent them out of the hospital with some supplies to keep them going for a while. ("Worlds Apart")
