Young boy's headache turned out to be life-threatening emergency

When Elijah Portillo, 11, fell at school a few months ago and had trouble standing, his parents took him to the doctor to make sure he was okay.

The provider said Elijah was fine, and the headaches, nausea and dizziness the boy was experiencing may have been from a virus or high blood pressure.

But the middle-schooler's headaches wouldn't go away and became so severe he couldn't sleep at night. His mom, Michelle, knew something was wrong.
