Eric was born March 17, 1998 he was smart, active crawler, he could grab the sofa walk along the side. We were so proud that he could say dad, mom, agua (water), papa (potato). Eric would crawl fast his little knees were always red.
His mother calls me that Eric need his yearly vaccination and that she would take him. That evening she called me told me Eric was not feeling good, that he had a high fever. I went over picked him up raced to the McAllen Medical Hospital.
They gave him something for the fever, they took all his cloth off so that his body could cool down. After hours they told me that he could go home, that we should take him to his pediatrician in the morning. When we arrived we had to put him in a tube with normal tempter water. She took him first thing in the morning his fever was still their. Eric stop talking, stop crawling, became a very sad baby just lied in his bed, he could not even swallow his food. After a few months with stimulation therapy he started to come back to us. He was totally different he could not say words he would just make noises, he started dragging his body a cross the floor, he could not crawl on his knees. He did this for about 2 years, Eric took his first step at 4 years 6 month. He is now 18 years old, 6'1" tall, 185lb, has never learned to talk, but he can write, read, use computers, Just Graduated from high school May 28, 2016. I am so proud of him because he has been through so much, doctors therapy, medications. Thanks Edward
