A friend through Fb shared her niece, a perfectly healthy 11 year old girl , ZERO pre-existing conditions, who was perfectly healthy until Friday night, apparently her fever spiked rapidly, she was taken by ambulance. She has since been transferred to Ste-Justine Hosp in Montreal, which is an amazing Hospital. She has Covid, on a respirator, pneumonia as well, and the next 24 hours are critical.
This has rocked me all day, badly, I glimpsed through her Mother’s timeline, as she had the original post, trying to show people how it can happen to anyone, any age, and she was posting for 2 weeks about staying in, and doing things with her kids, She is a teacher. She is saying her husband can not go, he may not get to say goodbye to his little girl. Only 1 parent allowed.
As a mother who has lost a child, this is killing me inside, NO I would not want to get it, I have auto-immune disorders, I don’t want to make my son an orphan, possibly risk him getting it. I will continue to do me, staying in basically all the time except walking Alone or with my husband each day. she posted the room, the experience so far, she seems to really want to make people aware, aNd says it is worse than what we see on TV.
We don’t know who could be this child, we just don’t know.
