It all started August 20, 2014; five days before school started. Chest pain with ringing in my ears while I had just got out of the shower. That was around 3:30 pm. Later that day I had more chest pains and me and my mom went to the emergency room. We got there at 10:30 ish pm and left around 3:30 am. For a little while after that I hadn't had any chest pains than I got some and than I wouldn't. September 12, 2014 the day I got my first heart monitor. I had quite a few episodes on that monitor. October 8, 2014 I went to the emergency room again for chest pains in the middle of school. October 12, 2014 I got my first heart monitor off. A couple weeks after that I started going to children's cardiologist. He couldn't figure out anything wrong with me but all he ever did was give me EKG's and would never give me an echo or an ultrasound. I had got a chest x-Ray but I got that the first time I had gone to the ER. More weeks had passed by without any real chest pain until one day.

*Mitch POV* I knew something was wrong when I couldn't breathe. It was in the middle of our social studies lesson for the day, and I tried to take a breath. All that happened was worse suffocation. Being twelve, I didn't handle it well. I opened my mouth to try to speak, but all that came out was an odd sounding croak. My teacher hushed me. But someone sitting next to me looked at me and noticed how pale I looked, or noticed that tears were welling in my eyes and I was drooping. I wrapped my hands around my throat seconds before I blacked out. That was only the first instance. In the time that I was unconscious, my lungs filled with fluid and I almost died. I was out for nearly two days, and my parents really thought that I would die. I vaguely remember hearing my mom crying while I couldn't open my eyes, and my dad telling her that maybe it was just my time and they had to let me go. But then I woke up, and the fluid had been drained from my lungs. I spent a while more in the hospital, and in that time, my parents found out that I had cancer. It had been determined that I probably wouldn't live much longer, maybe three months at the most. The conversation was happening outside my room, where I was supposed to be asleep, but I still heard the whole thing. What I remember most is my mom's sobs.
