Tammie Hairston knew something was wrong.
In early May, her son Kyree McBride, 9, developed a fever that lasted for several days.
A trip to the emergency room at Children’s National Hospital in Washington, DC, and to her son’s primary care physician revealed nothing.
But when Kyree developed redness in his eye, she knew it was time for another trip to the hospital.
“Normally, I don’t worry, because my son is not a sickly kid,” Ms Hairston said.
“We’re never in the hospital, maybe for bumps and bruises but never because he is sick. But I was worried.”
