Jodie Dicks from Toronto, Ont., contracted a severe case of dengue fever while attending her friend’s destination wedding in Jamaica. After spending a few days in a Jamaican hospital, she was flown to a Florida medical centre, where she suffered two heart attacks and died in her mother's arms on Jan. 26.
The family said no one ever used terms like “step-parent” or “step-sibling.” Jodie was a big part of that tight family unity. She began developing a rash, a common symptom of dengue fever, but was told it was likely a heat rash.But her condition worsened. Jodie had been receiving blood and plasma transfusions, but Dicks said that because the hospital was running out of blood she had to be moved to a hospital in Florida.Only Jodie’s biological mother was able to go with her on the emergency medical helicopter. So Jodie's stepfather and boyfriend were forced to wait for another flight in a Jamaican airport.
What a completely tragic thing to have happened to this young woman. 😥
Ughh that is so sad :(

RIP 🙏🏽
She, and her weak immune system, must have just ruined her friends wedding.

What a heartbreaking tragedy for the family. So very sad to lose such a lovely person.
