9 y.o. Makenna from Palm Coast Florida is recovering after being hospitalized for a week with COVID-19 complications, where she required oxygen and a blood transfusion. mynews13.com/fl/orlando/new… Image
“You know, you read the stories, and [think] it is never going to be your kid,” Tristan Simon said. “My kids are healthy so it's very surreal.”
While she still had some recovering to do at home, her parents said they hope other mothers and fathers realize the effects COVID-19 could have on children.

“You know, the smallest thing can turn out to be the biggest thing,” Simon said
Makenna added that she wants other children to wear masks and to tell their parents as soon as they do not feel well.

Simon said he, his wife and his older children were all vaccinated. He said he believes that helped keep their COVID-19 symptoms to a minimum.
