10 y.o. Zyrin Foots from Huntsville Texas is dying from #MISC due to COVID. The virus caused heart failure which led to gangrene of his legs and arms. His mom will let her son pass away to end his suffering. #SoulsLostToCovid abc13.com/covid-19-death…
"They gave my sister a choice: to amputate his legs and arms or let him go," Engmann said. "Without the amputation, he doesn't have any chance to live. With it, he has a 25% chance."
"She's going to end up letting him go because that's the most humane and compassionate thing she can do for her child," Engmann said.
