The first time was almost fatal, but with perserverance by his father to keep talking his son into breathing and not giving up he survived! The doctor's do not know what illness he was suffering from as his appendix was normal upon removal.My grandson had high blood pressure, dehydration, lack of oxygen, 105 degree temps, rapid heart beat and blood in his urine . Released from the children's hospital in Colorado Springs, CO, his after care, he continued to suffer from high fevers, trouble breathing and dehydration, Dr.'s miss diagnosed and continue to have o answers for what his illness is. He will be seeing a Asthma specialist, Urinologist and he will be doing a sleep study or sleep apnea. What do you think is going on?
