A 4-year-old girl in Iowa nearly died and is now blind because of the flu, and her parents have a message: Get your child vaccinated.
"If I can stop one child from getting sick, that's what I want to do," said Amanda Phillips. "It's terrible to see your child suffer like this."
Phillips thinks back to those four days, December 19 through December 23, and wracks her brain for something that might have told her what was about to happen. The night of December 23, while Phillips was working her shift as an assistant manager at a Dollar General store, Jade's father, Stephen DeLucia, tucked Jade into bed.
"I yelled at him -- I was like, 'We have to go. We have to go to the emergency room. This isn't right. Something's not right with her," Phillips said. "Heavenly father will you wrap your angels around Jade this morning and throughout the day and pray for healing today," the prayer went.What had seemed so unlikely had happened: Jade woke up.
Jade might also have cognitive or developmental problems, such as learning disabilities, Czech added. She said that would be determined in the months and years to come.
