It all kind of started around the end of April, it started wit a fever, the fever was pretty high, and now I am not saying he has never had fever but it has never been this high. Possibly 103.1? I try to keep the memories alive but as time passes, I forget the little details. Anyways, I had contacted the doctor a few times that weekend, but the doctor assured me that it was nothing more then a virus that was going around children. The fever was like a roller coaster for the past four days, it would spike up and lower down, By Monday, Luis (my husband) and I noticed that he was tugging on his ear, so at that point, after many phone calls and a hospital trip, the doctor suspected of an ear infection; finally the doctor gave us some antibiotics. At that same week, my parents had planned a trip to Texas for a cousin's wedding, eventually Erick got the OK to go, and that is where his ear infection started to leak, but at that time my mother started freaking out and took him to the Houston hospital and they eventually calmed her down and told her everything was going to be ok. Previous to these events, my cousin had a child recovering from cancer, so thanks to her experience, she kept suggesting my mom to tell me to have Erick's blood tested. After, they came back, Erick had slowly, but surely was returning to him norm.
A few weeks had passed when Erick, again was sick with a high fever, not as high as before but it was pretty high, again I freaked and took him to the hospital where they once again assured me that everything was going to be OK. Again he was slowly but surely going back to him normal self. My mom and my best friend kept on pushing me to talk to the doctor into getting some testing done, but I kept on insisting everything was ok . Eventually, Erick fell sick once more, and for me that was the final line, three fevers in less then two months? Are you kidding me, it was a lot for a four year old to endure. And that is where everything began.
