After coming down with the flu on Christmas, a 4-year-old from Iowa faces a lifetime of blindness and potential learning disabilities.

4-year-old Jade Phillips’ parents are sharing their story in hopes other will vaccinate their kids against the flu

The family took her to their local emergency room, where she had a seizure. She was then airlifted to the children’s hospital at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, about 80 miles away. At the children’s hospital, the family learned what was going on. Jade had the flu, but she was also experiencing encephalopathy, a type of swelling in the brain that’s a known complication of the flu virus.“They said she had significant brain damage. They said our child might not ever wake up, and if she did, she might not ever be the same,” her mom said.
