8-year-old Avella, described by family as athletic, intelligent and funny, is now unable to walk or talk and needs to be fed through a tube.

A Minnesota woman whose daughter has been hospitalized since March is urging people to get vaccinated and wear masks as the delta variant spreads and children return to the classroom.
