16 y.o. Camden Tucker from Springdale Arkansas contracted COVID before vaccines were available in her age group. Her father is a physician. She was given a 1% chance of survival after going into cardiac arrest. #TheySurvivedCovid thv11.com/article/news/h… Image
"There was a 99% chance she was not going to survive, which as a parent, that's hard to listen to," he said.

Donald said it all started on Sept. 19 when Camden went into cardiac arrest, quit breathing, and had multiple seizures during a family fishing trip.
"We pulled her out of the recliner and onto the floor, started doing CPR on her. I sent my wife, we didn't have any cell service, so I sent my wife to find a landline and call 911,"
Camden had open heart surgery when she was 5-years-old, but was completely healthy now.
"Take the time to invest in your family and spend time with them because in a moment that could go away, instantly," Donald said.
