Absent an exception, Illinois has a two yer statute of limitations for medical malpractice cases.
You need to review the sequence of events with an attorney in detail. While the expected limitations period is only two years, there may be a question about when the period starts and whether any exceptions apply. Understand that any delay may lead a case that is viable today no longer being viable. You should not delay. There are excellent attorneys throughout the state and you should get a solid referral.
