GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) –- Sarah and Pedro Mendez have kept count: Tuesday marked their 19th straight day at Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital.
“I’m not going anywhere, either,” Sarah Mendez told 24 Hour News 8 Tuesday from the lobby of the Grand Rapids hospital. “I mean, my baby’s upstairs.”
Their 14-year-old son Diego caught a nasty fever about three weeks ago. After several trips to various doctors, it was believed to be just a bug.
But then things got worse.
“He started having a seizure,” his mother said.
The seemingly healthy Holland teenager was rushed to the hospital. He remained there Tuesday.
