George Hernandez hadn't heard of "Hantavirus" until his 9-year-old son, Fernando, was diagnosed with the disease just days ago.
At first, Hernandez thought his son was sick with the flu. He was throwing up and missed a day of school around Jan. 28, but his dad sent him back when he started to feel better.
"I said, 'You'll be alright,'" Hernandez told Fox News. "He went to school, but when he came back, he was starting to get worse."
The concerned father rushed Fernando to a nearby hospital in Farmington, New Mexico, where he was admitted for 10 days. Doctors ran tests after X-rays revealed spots on his lungs.
Without a confirmed diagnosis, Fernando was released from the hospital, along with some medicine and a couple of oxygen tanks. He was told to rest.
