Girl, 4, who wasn't vaccinated left blind after getting the flu

Four-year-old Jade DeLucia was left blind after she got the flu and suffered brain swelling. Amanda Phillips said she does not know if her daughter, Jade Delucia, will ever see again after she caught the flu and developed encephalopathy, which is a swelling of the brain that caused her to lose her vision.

Jade was rushed to a Covenant Medical Center in Iowa on Christmas Eve after her father found her unresponsive and suffering a dangerously high fever in her bed.Jade suffered a seizure when she arrived a the hospital and she was airlifted to the children’s hospital at the University of Iowa, where doctors told Phillips that her daughter had acute necrotizing encephalopathy, which is extremely rare disease that affects one in five million people.

‘It affected the part of her brain that perceives sight, and we don’t know if she’s going to get her vision back,’ Dr Theresa Czech, one of her physicians, told‘In about three to six months from now we’ll know. Whatever recovery she has at six months, that’s likely all she’s going to get.’ Jade also may suffer cognitive and developmental issues because of the damage to her brain, but that will also be accessed in the upcoming moths.‘I think she’s doing fabulous,’ she said.Jade returned home on January 9 and the first thing she did was touch her sister’s face. She then pulled it close and cried.

Phillips said she is happy to have her daughter back home, but she wants to stress the importance of flu shots. She said both Jade and her sister received the flu shot last march and Phillips thought that meant they were good for an entire year. She said she did not realize her daughters needed to be vaccinated again for the 2019-2020 season.

Hope her parents can now fully understand that vaccines are there for a dam reason...poor little sausage it's bad enough when it happens but when you know it could have been avoided it makes it all the harder for the little girl to cope with

Sad story for the little girl, but this should be sent to the crazy anti vaxers stupidityofman

Lynch mob burns 'paedophile' alive after he 'raped girl' in MexicoWARNING GRAPHIC CONTENT: Local media named Alfredo Roblero as the man who was beaten up before being doused in fuel and set alight in a small village in the southern state of Chiapas. Seems fair to me. I think that this works better as prevention measures than free housing and food for 30+ years. Lynch mob justice is not the answer. What if you happen to be walking by and you were incorrectly identified as a killer? That's why we have a judicial system.
