Yvonne took him to Stamford Hospital countless times in the month of October, where the doctors ran multiple tests and everything always seem to come back fine, the doctors were unable to diagnose him. Yvonne and Mr. Jacob took him to Yale New Haven Hospital where they discovered a MAS Infection in the back of his nose very close to his brain. The doctors were able to removed most of the infection but not all because of how close it was to his brain.
