11 yr old dies to allergic reaction by Sarah Oviedo

This clip on CNN is about an 11 year old girl that died on a family trip to Hawaii. She was born with many health conditions and one day on her trip she was swimming and seemed to be doing better then ever and all of a sudden her throat begins to swell up and is rushed to the hospital. This happened instantly and her lasts words to her mother were, "I know i'm going to die."

This is very sad because no one would hope for this and for this to happen to a child is just beyond depressing. Illnesses play a major role in the U.S. due to human lives being taken away and affecting populations, etc.. I think that doctors should continue to study cases like this to find a prevention one day and hopefully make lives last a bit longer.

  1. Wow. This is devastating. Knowing that you are dying is terrible and also the fact that she is only 11 years old. My prayers go out to this family.

  3. It's upsetting to know that she was taken at such a young age. This relates to how our medical advancements are always coming around in America and so hopefully, doctors can find a solution to allergic reactions such as hers.
