“I took my daughter to school healthy and safe, and I got her back fighting for her life.”
That is the message a mother in Round Rock, Texas wants people to hear.
Alliyah says that on January 12, she dropped her young daughter, who has special needs, off at Hutto Elementary School. Her child showed no signs of injury and was doing fine when she was left at school.
A few hours later, Alliyah says she received a call saying her daughter had fallen from a chair about one and a half to two feet high, hit her head, and had been unconscious for roughly 40 minutes.
What happened next, Alliyah says, is almost impossible to understand. She says her daughter was moved before her spine was properly stabilized, and no school staff member went with her in the ambulance.
After arriving at the hospital, her daughter needed emergency spinal surgery. Alliyah says her child also suffered a brain bleed and a stroke.
Today, her daughter remains in critical condition. She is on a breathing tube, and her lungs are failing after developing pneumonia. Alliyah says the infection was caused by bacteria acquired in the hospital following surgery.
This little girl is still fighting for her life.
Alliyah is asking for prayers and guidance, unsure of what to do next and fearing the worst. Whether this was a tragic accident or something more, let’s stand with this mother and help keep her strong for her daughter.
