My daughter was 17. She had been selected for a school trip from July 9 to July 22, where the vaccine was mandatory. She was the only one in our family who received it, despite our pleas not to. She was vaccinated on June 7 and again on June 28, 2022.
She left for her trip, and on July 18, she texted me that she felt unwell. They tested her for coved around midnight, the PCR test said Positive, or so they say? We immediately drove from Michigan to New York to bring her home. We arrived the next day, on the 19th,around 8:00pm , which happened to be our three-year-old’s birthday. We celebrated with cake and ice cream, and Aubrynn and I shared some soup before she went to bed.
The following morning, I took her to urgent care. We waited for hours, and she sat up and ask, “Did they call me yet?” Before we knew it, she collapsed from cardiac arrest. She was airlifted to Children’s Hospital, placed on an ECMO machine, and treated with Remdesivir. Her limbs began turning black from lack of blood flow, infections spread, and her kidneys failed.
On August 6, the doctors informed us that nothing more could be done and that we needed to turn off the machines. We had to let her go.
